iPhone Storage & iTunes

Can I reduce the storage used on my iPhone by iTunes now that I have Apple Music?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Hi toddfromheber,

It sounds like you have questions regarding how storage is used on your iPhone now that you use Apple Music. While any music made available offline will use storage on the device, music streamed via Apple Music will temporarily utilize device storage. These would be considered cached files or cached data that will automatically be deleted. This process allows you to utilize more of the device storage for other resources. If you are concerned with running out of space on your device, see the articles below for ways to optimize storage.
