apple music not downloading on android

The first thing to check is Wi-Fi/ Cellular Data are turned on. Settings > Music > Cellular Data, and check two things:

• Tap Wireless Data to see if Apple Music is allowed to use mobile data.

• See if you turn on Downloads to permit Apple Music download songs on mobile data.

• Double-click the Home button.

• Find Apple Music.

• Slide it up to close it.

Then tap Apple Music on the Home Page to restart it. Now run Apple Music.

I've had the same issue with my Note 8. I could not download any of my music in my SD card. So I tried downloading the music to the phone's memory and everything was downloaded perfectly. Go figure!. Maybe this will help someone

I am also starting to wonder. I am running on a custom rom based on pie and at first my library was downloaded successfully but 13 songs were excluded. I tried everything mentioned above but none of that worked. So I cleared data and set the app up again and now none of the songs are downloading now. Any suggestions?

Yeah on the latest version of Android Pie on a Original Pixel XL and my music refuses to download via 4G or Wi-Fi. Please, like people pay for this service. Spotify works perfect on Pie not long gave the trial up. I'd rather pay for Spotify if ***** like this happens.

Btw Apple Music worked fine on Android 8.

Try manually granting permissions and disabling battery optimisation for Apple Music(search battery optimisation in settings, this will let the app download while the screen is off) and also disable Samsung's own battery optimisation, IMO, it does more harm than good( settings, battery, tap 3 dots in the corner,settings-see screenshot). If you don't have any downloaded music, clear data or uninstall /reinstall app, and if you have downnloaded music and don't want to lose it, just clear the app's cache and try a reboot in both cases. Feel free to ask me anything.

Same story with me. Running a custom Pie ROM and Apple Music refuses to download any songs. Even tried hiding root access using Magisk Hide in case that was causing problems, but to no avail. Some help would be appreciated

I had to go back and download Apple Music 2.3 instead of 2.6 I've been using 2.3 for 2 days and it's back flawless!!! Hope this helps and here is the link with the different versions!!!!

Hi Moshikko, When you installed the apk, did you do a fresh install or just the update? It seems that when installing an APK you can either do a fresh install or install it as a update, I tried to install it as an update and still couldnt download any songs on my Pixel 3 XL. The download cue still gets stuck and never starts downloading

I downloaded the 2.7 beta apk and all I did was installing it, I mean no wipe or fresh install ( had many songs downloaded from when I was on Oreo so didn't wanna lose it ) and it worked, I can now download songs without any hassle.

I struggled with this issue for weeks. Today, I went into the app's info screen and it turned out that the storage permission was not enabled so I enabled it and rebooted the phone (Clearing the app from recents screen did not work). This fixed the problem.

It never occurred to me to check the permissions because the app is supposed to request for the necessary permissions and considering music downloads was working before.

I can download music via Apple Music but I am unable to play music. when i hit play it just does nothing. Same thing when I try to stream music. I verified all my app settings are correct. Using a Note 9.

Steps to resolve in my case (worked for both me and the wife on 9.0 android one devices).

1 - download Apple music 2.7 beta from APK mirror and install

2 - go to settings / apps / Apple music

3 - go to storage and clear cache (only cache)

4 - reboot phone

Worked for both of us and allowed downloading to internal or SD. Worth noting that both our phones already had storage permission enabled, make sure this is on as well!

Hello Kieran,

I have a Samsung S9+ and I've recently upgraded to Android Pie and on Apple Music I can't no longer download songs. It was working fine on Android Lollypop. I've tried doing what you said but its still not working.

Streaming works fine but I just can't download anything. The download process remain stagnant.

Please help.

Thanks a lot

Ben.

Hello its working now. But what weird is that I've tried those settings before and it didn't worked. I didn't restarted my phone before so I guess that's why it didn't worked. But after doing those settings and restarting it thank God it works.

I have the answer for you. go into your apps in your settings go to permission for the Apple app and you have to add storage to it. For some reason when it update the operating system it turns it off. Then restart your phone and try downloading should work. It work for me.
