How To Fix Apple Music Not Working in iOS 16

Here are some troubleshooting options that you can apply:

1. Restart iPhone

First, you should reboot your device. A fresh start could clear any minor glitches that might prevent these stock apps from opening.

Tip: We recommend you the force restart combo for quick results.

2. Reinstall Apple Music & Apple TV

Next, you should remove these apps and install them fresh. You can first apply the offload trick:

How to: Go for Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage -> Apple Music -> Offload App -> Reinstall App.

More: If this doesn’t work either, go ahead and Delete App and reinstall it from the App Store (direct link).

3. Clean Install iOS 16

A more extreme troubleshooting option is to reinstall the current iOS 16 version using a computer. This should clean all bugs and corrupted files that might have been carried on when updating over-the-air.
