Hey there Kevinalton,


We'd like to help. Let's start by having you take a look at the following page to make sure that you're taking the proper steps to stream Apple Music over Wi-Fi.


Use Apple Music with your Android devices - Apple Support


If the issue remains after checking out that page, please provide some more details to help us learn more about what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:


  1. You mentioned that there's an issue when trying to stream songs to play in Apple Music over Wi-Fi on your Android phone, but what actually occurs when you try, and are there any issues when only using cellular? The more details you provide, the better we'll understand what's happening.
  2. While Bluetooth doesn't provide a way to connect to the internet to stream songs, what exactly did you mean by Apple Music only works while using Bluetooth?
  3. Have you tested streaming songs while connected to a different Wi-Fi network at another location?


Cheers!

Hey Kevinalton,


From the guide we shared earlier, it does show that it uses your Wi-Fi network: Use Apple Music with your Android devices - Apple Support


Stream music from Apple Music to your Chromecast device

1. Make sure that your Android device and Chromecast device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the Apple Music app.
3. At the top of your screen, tap the Cast button .
4. Android phone showing the Cast button at the top of the Apple Music app
5. Tap your Chromecast device.
6. Play music.
If you need help with your Chromecast, visit Google Support.


To be sure we're on the same page, it isn't working as expected when connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Is that correct? If so, and if you haven't already, restart all devices including your modem/router to see if fresh connections help to resolve this.


Keep us posted.


Take care!
