After installing iOS 26 most of my music became unavailable, playlists don’t work, and when I tap on a track it shows the message “not available in your region.”
I’ve been reading the forum and see that many others are experiencing the same issues.
Does anyone know a solution?

According to Tech Support, you can access your music (downloaded from your personal CD collection, etc) ONLY if you have an Apple Music account😤. So…I now have to pay Apple every month for access to MY 500GB of music that’s just sitting’ in the Cloud!!😫. That is just wrong. Everyone needs to call Tech Support and complain. Doubt if it will help, but…. FYI, you can access the music you have previously purchased from them.

OS 26 is hot garbage. Don't install it.
Same for the iOS version, battery-eating junk.
Rolling back to previous OS only fix.
Apple won't do anything - they dropped this miserable excrement upon us.
I should know better than to install new OS updates without looking first - never again!
Same here
Come on Apple fix this we pay the dollars
Music and playlists not working after iOS 26 update
