Q: How can I tell songs downloaded on phone vs iCloud?

I Was under the impression that once I subscribed to music match that my songs would go to the cloud. However, I subscribed to music match and the storage on my phone increased exponentially. How can I tell what songs are actually on my phone and what songs are in the cloud?

Thank you.

Hello darlene67,

The main difference between a song that is downloaded to your iOS device or in iCloud is you will see a Download icon . If at anytime that you don't want music on your device, you can delete it. Take a look at the articles below for how to download music and also deleting content from your iOS device.
