For users that use several Apple devices and also subscribe to Apple Music, iCloud can be so helpful to sync all of your songs, albums, and playlists and even restore purchases regardless of whether you bought them on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. In this article, you’ll learn how to turn off your iCloud music libraryon any device to stop syncing your music across devices.
Syncing all your songs on all devices you’ve signed in can sound like a piece of good news, but this service also has its downsides. Users with an extensive music library can take hours or days to download all your music on other devices you’ve signed in to. Additionally, the iCloud music library can mess up the metadata of your tracks, which you might find inconvenient.
Next to “Sync Library,” ensure the option is toggled off. You will know it’s disabled when the button is no longer green (enabled) but turns grey to show it’s no longer active.
