Apple Music album artwork not showing?

Not sure why there is not an APPLE solution to this yet (or at least I cannot find one posted) but I did find a fix for this bug myself.

This issue she seems to be centered around “downloaded music”. Whenever I added new albums, the artwork wold not show up until I went into “downloaded music”, selected an album, and did delete > remove downloads. Sometimes I had to do a few, but all the recent added albums artwork would magically show up.

Everytime this issue occurred again, I would just delete a downloaded album (again just the stored music, not remove from library).

So naturally I got to the point where artwork was not showing up, but I had nothing left to remove from downloads. The solution to this is super dumb, and proves something very BUGGY is going on.

Select an album in your library. Downloaded it to phone. Once it’s done. Delete the downloads. All the blank album artwork showed up instantly.

Apple. Fix this crap...

Hi,

Offloading app and installing again worked for me.

Go to Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage -> Music -> Offload App

Then Install Again.

In my case, I had this warning asking me to optimize storage in my settings menu. So I've suggested that iPhone might have stopped downloading art just to keep storage. So I went to my Photo album, deleted few photos and videos, cleared recycle bin and...It helped!

So im not entirely sure what u read/ tried but what worked for me (instantly) was freeing up storage. I deleted about 5-7 useless apps and 30 photos and were all good again. Ive had this problem for 2 months... then boom back in order

Try to keep your device(s) updated. I tried turning apple music and icloud on and off.. nothing changed. I updated my phone and was happy to see all my music back with their thumbnails!

Had the same problem since updating to IOS 12. Freeing up storage seems to restore all the album artwork.

Hi, I don’t know if you guys still need help, I had the same problem and I just restarted the phone.

I know I’m a little late to the discussion but I’ve been having the same issue and have tried most of the suggestions but to no avail. Bizarrely I deleted an app (as recomended by someone on here) to free up storage and all my artwork appeared even though I have 30Gb of storage remaining on my phone. Mad but it worked for me.

Clearing Storage space worked. Thanks a ton :)

To be honest, I did a hard reset on my iPhone. Literally erasing everything off the phone and restoring it back with one of my recent backups. It worked, but do it at your OWN RISK, I lost some things that I don't think I can get back even with the backup. I have over 1000+ songs and at least 75% of my albums artwork wasn't showing. YES, you do need space in order for it show. NO you don't have to update your phone to the latest software update. It worked for me by doing this, just beware what you're getting yourself into before performing the action.

I noticed that my album art will not update if I was AirPlay was enable and set to play music through my AppleTV

Tried the recommended action, didn’t work. It’s only happening on my phone and only with music that I’ve added since updating to iOS 12, everything already in my library prior to updating still has its artwork. Below is how it’s displaying.

I am experiencing the exact same issue. Additionally, whenever I listen to music via Bluetooth, the audio sounds low quality. Sometimes the album art loads, sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve tried listening via Bluetooth on my MacBook and iPad, but they sound perfectly fine, therefore I know it’s not the headphones that I’m using that make the audio sound so bad. Any help would be great, really considering switching to Spotify, even though I love Apple Music.

i did what everyone said to do, which was turning the icloud music on and off and the first few times i did it it worked, but i did it again and now a majority of the artwork for ALL the music on my library is gone.
