How do I move music files (mp3) that I have in my files app into the music library?

I have music files in my files app, and I need to move those files into the music library. I do not own a Mac or a PC, I have an iPad and iPhone, so I cannot do it through iTunes. Is there any way this can be done?

Thank you.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hello SimmerBeast,


You would only be able to add music to the Music app on your iPhone through iTunes or Apple Music. There isn't a way to add music files from the Files app to the Music app on your iPhone. Learn more about the supported syncing method and adding music to the Music app below:



If you were hoping for another way to add music to the Music app, then it may be best to provide Apple with your feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple


Keep in mind, Apple reviews all feedback, but you may not hear back on any given. Apple does not request unsolicited ideas.


Take care.
