Music not playing offline

none of my downloaded music from Apple library will play offline. It plays for 15 seconds then stops. I have deleted all music, re-downloaded, reset settings, rebooted phone, still it works for a while then goes back to same scenario of not playing.

Hello lizette189,


We understand that music is only playing for 15 seconds. We want to make sure you're able to enjoy listening to music, and we want to help.


To help us get a better understanding of the issue, we’d like to ask a few questions.


  1. Which iOS version is your device running? Find the software version on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
  2. Does the issue continue after restarting? Restart your iPhone
  3. If you remove and redownload the affected songs, does that seem to help? Add music to iPhone and listen offline
  4. Is "Sync Library" enabled? Here's how to check: Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music


Thanks!
