Why isn’t my iCloud music library updating?

There are a few possible reasons that your iCloud Music Library may not be updating.

First, make sure that the Apple Music app is up-to-date and running the latest version on all devices. That includes the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. If it’s not, it may be preventing the iCloud Music Library from properly updating.

Make sure you have the correct iCloud account and Apple ID associated with the music as well.

Second, check to ensure your iCloud Music Library is activated on all devices. To do this, go to the Music app on each device and select Settings, then General, and enable iCloud Music Library.

Third, make sure all your devices are connected to the same network and have unrestricted network access. If you’re on a public network, try switching to a private one, such as a home or office Wi-Fi connection, instead.

Finally, disconnect and reconnect all devices to your Apple ID and iCloud Music Library to trigger a refresh. This should prompt the iCloud Music Library to start synching across all devices.

It’s possible that a combination of these steps may help resolve the issue with iCloud Music Library not updating. If the above steps don’t work, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
