Apple Music Automatic download

So I’m subscribed to Apple Music via Apple One and I’m logged in with my Apple ID on everything. Whenever I turn on automatic download in Apple Music settings it switches off automatically as soon as I return back to settings page.


Any help on that?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Thank you Stevi_S,


The restart option did not resolve the problem and my iPhone was associated with my Apple ID. However, digging into the associated thread I discovered that my old iPhone was also still associated with Apple music although I did erase all content and remove my Apple ID from there. As soon as I re-logged in my old iPhone and deleted it's association with Apple Music the automatic download button on my new iPhone was fixed.

Hi Jimmza,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you are experiencing an issue with Apple Music automatic downloads. We're happy to look into this with you.


To start, if you haven't already done so, restart your device .You can see how here: Restart your iPhone


We also want to make sure that your iPhone is associated with your Apple ID, as this is necessary for automatic downloads. You can see how to view associated devices here: View and remove your associated devices for purchases


Thanks.
