iTunes Store on iOS no longer has Genius music recommendations

OK. It does work for me.

My setup is very similar to yours. So I’ll try to describe my setup hoping we can find the difference and then understand why it isn’t working for you.

• I also use iTunes Match, and therefore use iCloud Music Library.
• On my iOS device, in Settings > Music:
  • Show Apple Music is “On”
  • iCloud Music Library is ”Off”. (I want music on my iOS device completely controlled by my iTunes synchronization.)
• When I do sync using iTunes, I occasionally see what I believe says “syncing Genius data” or similar. I then see a countdown-like display (syncing 479 of 2000 or similar), and the countdown proceeds for perhaps 45 seconds or so.
• I have an iPhone and an iPad. The above behavior describes how both behave. But interestingly, I sync all my music from my Mac’s iTunes to my iPhone, while my iPad has no music at all. Yet both behave as described above.

I believe the recommendations now appear in iOS by tapping the "For You" tab on the bottom of the Music application.

I suspect that may connect you to Apple Music - I'm not sure. But I do know it will lead to recommended songs based on your collection.

I apologize. The “More” method applies on an iPhone, which I was using at the time. To my surprise, the iPad method to access “Genius” is different.

But the iPad method even appears in your screenshot! Look at the bottom row you displayed. “Genius” is there, second from the right.

Well, as you probably know, you may still use Genius on your Mac.

You may select a song there, and choose File > New > Genius Playlist there.

Do that in iOS in the iTunes Store application.

Click "More" with the horizontal three dots in the lower right, then select "Genius."

One other item, in case it’s relevant:

In Settings > iTunes & App Stores, I am signed in using my Apple ID and have Automatic Downloads > Music turned “On”.
