Q: why should i have to use data to listen to music i have paid for on my phone

I have update my ios iphone 6s and now it is telling me I need to be connected to wifi to listen to songs I have purchased from itunes. Is this because I need to sync my phone with my laptop? I only ask as I did not have this problem before updating my software

    If you're not able to play music via Apple Music while disconnected from the internet, it may be due to not having made said music available offline. The steps outlined below detail how to make music available offline, so that it can be listened to at any time.

    Download songs, albums, and playlists to listen to offline

    You can download songs, albums, or playlists to your device so that you can listen to them when you're not connected to the Internet.* You must download songs, albums, or playlists on each device that you want to use for offline listening.

    *You can download music on up to 10 devices. These songs are accessible only during your Apple Music membership.

    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. In the Music app, find the item that you want to download.
