Are you tired of your iPhone automatically downloading music you didn’t ask for? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Let’s get straight to the point: to turn off automatic music downloads on your iPhone, you’ll need to delve into your device’s settings. It’s a simple tweak that will save you data and storage space. After all, who needs an unexpected album taking up precious room on their phone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we dive into the steps, let’s understand what we’re aiming to achieve here. By turning off automatic music downloads, you’re preventing your iPhone from downloading every purchase you make (or have made) on other devices connected to your iCloud account. This can help you manage your storage better and keep only the music you want on your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open the Settings app on your iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Settings icon looks like a gear and is typically found on your home screen. If you can’t find it, swipe down on your home screen and use the search function to find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scroll down and tap on the ‘Music’ option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll find a list of various settings related to your music experience on your iPhone. We’re interested in the ‘Downloads’ section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for the ‘Automatic Downloads’ option and tap on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This option might be under the ‘Downloads’ section or ‘iTunes & App Store’ depending on your iOS version and device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Switch the toggle off for ‘Automatic Downloads’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The toggle will go from green to grey, indicating that automatic downloads for music are now turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After completing these steps, your iPhone will no longer automatically download music. This means that if you purchase a song or album on another device using the same Apple ID, it won’t immediately show up on your iPhone. You can still manually download music from the Apple Music app whenever you want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
