Q: Glitch with Automatic Downloads in the iOS 10 Music app?
I have an iPhone 5C - 16 Gig, running iOS 10.0.2.
I had briefly enabled Automatic Downloads from Settings -> Music, but after it flooded my phone with songs; leaving zero space, I quickly disabled it, and deleted all locally stored Music.
So you can imagine my surprise when I came back to my phone, to see the SAME Music downloaded (on its own), filling up my phone yet again with Music, leaving almost no space. Automatic Downloads was OFF.
I deleted the music. Happened again. And again. And again. With automatic downloads turned off! In the last hour my phone must've downloaded 10 gigs, which is ridiculous, because I have a limited data cap on my home broadband.
Has anyone else faced a similar issue? I've had to literally turn OFF iCloud Music Library to prevent these downloads from happening on their own. Any advice at all would be appreciated! This appears to be a bug, and a giant one at that.
