Apple Music updating playlists and music deletion

Some playlists in Apple Music update regularly, and I've added a few to my library. When the playlist is updated, will the songs in the playlist be removed from my library as well?

I have the songs downloaded offline and I don't want them taking up all my storage.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10.2.1

Hey josh2197, that is correct, music downloaded for offline play on your iPhone will not be affected or removed when that playlist is updated in Apple Music. The good news is you can remove this music by going to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage. Tap on Manage Storage in the Storage section, then find the Music app and from here you can remove select songs and artists, or remove all music at once. This music will still be available to stream to your iPhone, but it will not be downloaded for offline use anymore.


Check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
