Thanks I tried to turn on the iCloud music library but it keeps turning it self off automatically and then when I try downloading something pops up like your iCloud music library is off have tried everything to get it back on again even resetting the phone but it’s all failed that’s what it says every time even after resetting the settings and resetting the phone itself I still can’t get it on
