I can/t get iTunes Match to show up on my iPhone, but I have the latest software, I upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Pro (where my music is), recently purchased iTunes Match, signed out/in the Music app, have sync library on, etc.

How can I get iTunes Match to work on my iPhone when it won't even show up there, and I did all the things that are supposed to fix that (latest software, etc.), or on my newer MacBook Pro (despite doing the fixes there)? Apple help folks told me to get an external hard drive to back up my old MacBook Pro (which had all my music on it when I used to use iMatch), back it up, then upgrade to the latest O/S, Big Sur, which I did, then tried all the usual steps, but no luck there either. So frustrating.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.2

If you have an active subscription to iTunes Match then you should Turn on Sync Library - Apple Support in both your computer and device, the process is the same for iTunes Match as for Apple Music. See Identify cloud status icons in your music library on your Mac or PC to check that content in your library is matched or uploaded.

Thank you. I did that already. I still cannot find iTunes Match on my iPhone, and my music on my old Mac won't show up on my new Mac, though both are set on Sync Library, I also logged out and back into Music on both devices.

What do you mean by "still cannot find iTunes Match on my iPhone". Your iCloud Music Library should show up in the Music app in iOS or Macs running Catalina or Big Sur, or iTunes on older Mac. There is no separate iTunes Match app. Your computer needs to be authorized for your Apple ID and you need to be signed into your Apple ID. You should then be able to enable Sync Library if currently off. The library should be scanned and any unique content added to the iCloud Music Library so that is shows in any other library or device signed into the same account.
