Song not sending over iMessage

Hello Leibniz-,

We know that it is fun to be able to share your music with friends, and we'd like to help.

First, try restarting your iPhone and test to see if the issue remains. Sometimes a simple restart can clear up issues like this.

If the issue remains, make sure you're using the latest version of software as well.

1. "Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. Choose the software update that you want to install. You can choose to stay on iOS or iPadOS 15 and still get important security updates. Or you can choose the option to upgrade to iOS or iPadOS 16
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do."

2. Search for or navigate to an item (such as a song or album) to share, then click the More button .
3. Choose Share, then choose any of the sharing options:

• Twitter: Opens the link in a Twitter window, where you can sign in (if necessary) and post the link.
• Facebook: Opens the link in a Facebook window, where you can sign in (if necessary) and post the link.
• Copy Embed Code: Copies the HTML code to the Clipboard. You can paste this code into a webpage, for example, and when you click the link, the music opens in Apple Music on the web.
• Copy Link: Copies the link to the Clipboard. When you click the link, the music opens in Apple Music on the web."
