Apple Music not working on cellular data

I was eagerly looking forward to Apple Music but discovered that it will not work unless I'm connected to WiFi. Is this intentional? Is there any way to allow it to search and stream using cellular data?

I had this. There are two settings that can conflict with each other.


First setting: Under iTunes & App Store, Use Cellular Data has to be enabled.


Second setting: Under Cellular, Scroll down to find Music and make sure it is enabled.


Then you are good.

IKR!!!!!!!


I was looking to see if anyone alse noticed this stupid flaw online and I'm glad someone has! if you want to use apple music over cellular you HAVE to have automatic app updates over cellular, even if you only want app updates over wifi! seems like apple just shoved the apple music setting there without designing it properly.
