Apple Music crashes when deleting songs on iOS 16.4.

Has anyone found a fix to iOS 16.4 Apple Music crashing when deleting a song?


Since updating to iOS 16.4, numerous different ways of deleting songs on Apple Music will result in the app freezing, then 10 seconds later the music stopping and app crashing.


I have obviously tried the first few solutions, restarting the app, restarting the phone, deleting the app, even signing out of iCloud so that all my music needed to be re-downloaded but the issue persists, which is seriously annoying and should be fixed urgently. If you are playing a song and try to delete it, app crashes. If you skip to the next song and delete the song through the history list, app crashes. If you search up the song via the search tab, app crashes. If you delete the song whilst filtering it from your library (using the search bar at the top of your library), app crashes. The only way I have found to delete a song WITHOUT the app crashing, you need to scroll all the way down in your library to the exact song, and delete it.

There was an update today that changed the bug a little bit. When deleting the song the app freezes for about 10 to 15 seconds. It plays the next song, but still shows the old song that I deleted. Then when the old song picture goes away it shows the next song that already started. It remains paused and then you have to press play to start the song back up. Still a buggy mess…

Whatever apple did, it’s made listening to music so frustrating, it’s once again ridiculous & I’m really sick of their necessity to change things that work perfectly for an update that doesn’t work at all.

I have performed all of their so called “fixes” for the music app crashing whenever ANYTHING is done to a playlist. None of their recommendations have any relevance whatsoever or improve the crashing. Regardless what I’m listening to, playlist, songs, albums, artists etc. etc., any changes to the playlist whether it be remove song or add song, the playlist locks up after 10 seconds & the app crashes.

It’s pathetic & has me listening to Amazon music more & more. Nothing is as frustrating than having to screw with your phone to keep music playing while driving, GOOD JOB APPLE, once again, good worthless job…. UGH, I wish I hadn’t put so much resources into apple, cause I’d dump them over consistently recurring BS like this.

Unacceptable & unimpressive & undesirable…..
