Sharing music not purchased on iPhone?

I understand the copyright issues and Apple not permitting sharing of music not purchased. In my case this is my own music that I have recorded and put on my phone. I’d like to share it. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17

Not directly no.

Purchases can be shared over family sharing.

Items obtained from other sources have no direct way of being shared with anyone from an iPhone.


You can upload tracks to a could service, like Dropbox, One Drive and even iCloud Drive and share a link to them or Airdrop them to another device, but there is no way to share non purchased items from within the Music app directly.

Alternatively if in the same household and using the same Wi-Fi network, you can use Home Sharing to share an iTunes or Music app library from a computer (Mac or PC) to other devices on the same Wi-Fi network.
