3Slide the “Music” switch to the On position. It’s in the “Automatic Downloads” section. The switch will turn green.
-
4Slide the “Use Cellular Data” switch to the On position. The switch will turn green. Now your music library will remain updated even when you’re not connected to Wi-Fi.[1]
- If you don’t have an unlimited data plan, using cellular data for your music library can be costly.
- If anything else under “Automatic Downloads” is enabled (Apps, Books & Audiobooks, or Updates) is enabled, its content will update over cellular data. To disable updates for one of these options, move its switch to the Off position.
