Just upgraded to iPhone16. Copied all my music to the iPhone but there are several artists not showing under "Artists". The albums are there under "Albums" with the artists showing OK. Everything is OK on the PC's iTunes, just the iPhone doesn't match what is on the PC.
iPhone 16, iOS 18
This is potentially an issue with artists whose albums are categorized as compilations. There used to be some options in Settings > Music (now Settings > Apps > Music) that gave some fine grained control but those appear to have gone. Part of a compilation is often set for Greatest Hits type albums from a single group or artist when iTunes/Music works better without it. iTunes may also list all artists in the artists view whereas the device may only list those who appear on at least one non-compilation track.
