How do I edit album information on iOS device?

Is it possible to edit song or album information on an iOS device in the Music app like you can in macOS?

I have an M1 iMac, an iPhone 12 and an iPad mini 5 all sharing a Music Library. I can see how to delete and add albums/songs from all three devices, but don't see a way to edit an album information (for example the Genre) on either of the iOS devices.

(Reason I am asking is that lately, any changes I make to an album's information on my iMac - where I like to do it because it is easy - aren't being reflected lately in the Music apps on my iPhone or iPad. (And apparently not being reflected in Music.Apple.Com webpage when I log in there.)

Thanks

iMac 24″, macOS 12.1

For : swandy 🎵Edit Album info on iOS Device

I've been using iTunes since 2007 . I'm on Mac Mini ; Big Sur , iPad (5th gen.) OS 15.2 and

iPhone 7 ; iOS 15.2 There isn't an option to edit music information on the devices , only on my desktop , I'm not happy about it either ! 😡 Additionally , about changes made on Mac ,

did you set up the devices for the iTunes to sync with your iMac ? I won't advise you since I don't quite get it yet , but the help menu on the iMac is good & I have been looking at ipad

user guides & syncing topics .

I have not used iTunes on my iMac or any devices since I switched to the Music app and Apple Music.

But I have the feeling that like you have seen with iTunes that the type of editing I wish to do also cannot be done except on a macOS computer.

Thanks anyway
