The distinction matters, because without a network connection, I’d just have to “hunt and peck” to find the music that I’ve already downloaded to my phone.įortunately, there’s a quick and easy way to display only downloaded music on your iPhone. That’s because Apple Music displays all of my music in one big list, and I can’t tell which music is downloaded to my iPhone - that’s the music I can play without network connectivity - and which music that is currently stored on Apple’s servers - that’s the music I can’t play without network connectivity. But there is one time when I don’t want to stream music at all: when I’m using my iPhone in airplane mode or when I’m in an area with no cellular or wireless connectivity.
Being able to stream and download music to an iPhone over a wireless or cellular connection is priceless. Show Only Downloaded Music on Your iPhone.
