How To Get Apple Music On Your Iphone

Subscribe to Apple Music on iPhone

Apple Music is an ad-free streaming music service that lets you listen to millions of songs and your music library. As a subscriber, you can listen any time—online or off—and create your own playlists, stream and download lossless and Dolby Atmos audio files, get personalized recommendations, see music your friends are listening to, watch exclusive video content, and more.

You can subscribe to Apple Music or to Apple One, which includes Apple Music and other services. See the Apple Support article Bundle Apple subscriptions with Apple One.

Note: Apple Music, Apple One, lossless, and Dolby Atmos aren't available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.

Subscribe to Apple Music

You can subscribe to Apple Music when you first open the Music app ; to subscribe later, go to Settings > Music, then tap the subscription button.

New subscribers can start a trial and cancel at any time. If you end your Apple Music subscription, you can no longer stream Apple Music songs or play Apple Music songs you downloaded.

Qualified students can purchase a student subscription at a discounted price. See the Apple Support article Get an Apple Music student subscription.

Share Apple Music with family members

When you subscribe to Apple Music or Apple One Premier, you can use Family Sharing to share Apple Music with up to five other family members. Your family group doesn't need to do anything—Apple Music is available to them the first time they open the Music app after your subscription begins.

If you join a family group that subscribes to Apple Music or Apple One Premier, and you already subscribe, your subscription isn't renewed on your next billing date; instead, you use the group's subscription. If you join a family group that doesn't subscribe, the group uses your subscription.

Note: To stop sharing Apple Music with a family group, you can cancel the subscription, leave the family group, or leave or turn off Family Sharing.

Listen to music shared with you

When a friend shares music with you using the Messages app, you can easily find it in Shared with You in Apple Music. (Music must be turned on in Settings > Messages > Shared with You, and your friend must be in your contacts list in Contacts.)

Open the Music app , then tap Listen Now.
Swipe up to Shared with You, then do any of the following:
- Tap a song to listen to it.
- Tap the name of the person, people, or group who shared the song to reply to them using the Messages app. You can also reply while listening to the song—tap the name shown above the track.
- Touch and hold the song to take other actions—for example, add it to your library, create a station, or share it.

Listen to music with your friends using SharePlay

With SharePlay, you can join a FaceTime call and share music with your friends, with everyone's playback in sync (iOS 15.1 and later). Each person can use the music controls to pause, rewind, fast-forward, or scrub to a different part of the song. And anyone using SharePlay can add songs to the shared queue.

To learn more about sharing music with SharePlay, see Use SharePlay to watch and listen together in FaceTime.
