Purchased Music won't stay on iPhone.

I pretty much only purchase music from the iTunes Store. I purchase the music and it will stay there for about 48 hours and then it will disappear from my phone. I follow all the steps to re-download the music and it starts downloading then stops again. Help?!?! I just want the music I purchased on my phone to stay on my phone.

Hey Din0mama,


Thanks for reaching back out. Are you signed in with your Apple ID on any other devices? If so, iCloud Music Library may be the reason songs are missing and needing to be redownloaded, as iCloud Music Library syncs songs across devices: Turn on iCloud Music Library with Apple Music - Apple Support


If that's not the case, sign out and sign back in to the App Store and iTunes Store on the iPhone using these steps: Sign in to the App Store and iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV - Apple Support. Be aware that signing out may remove Apple Music content from the device and will need to be redownloaded again.


Let us know how this works out for you. Cheers!
