iTunes purchases and playlists missing on iPhone 16

New phone iPhone 16. My iTunes seems to have lost all of my purchases and all of my playlists etc have disappeared!

Fily sharing is on and I am the main account holder. Looked in the other family members account and they have loads of stuff on there, 250 songs. I have 23!

what’s gone wrong please?

Have you tried going to Apple Music and re-downloading the missing songs? I have lost some before when I get a new device. As long as I am still signed in to my iCloud account, I've been able to click on a missing song, and instead of asking me if I want to purchase, it says "Already purchased". From there I simply redownload it. Time consuming, but it has worked.


Another option, connect your phone into another device that has the music on the same account and try syncing.
