iTunes music not updating on Apple Music

I've been adding music files to iTunes for about 2 years, I use those files for Apple Music on iOS and I've never really experienced an issue with this ever. So all day I've been adding music to iTunes to play on my iPhone, and all of a sudden it just stopped working. I'm on sync library and I even clicked "Update iCloud Music Library", I've updated both my iTunes on Windows and my iPhone to the new iOS and nothing has happened. My playlist also won't update either on my iPhone, songs won't move in their correct spots and the songs I downloaded from iTunes to Apple Music won't be in there, and songs I've deleted from my playlists still won't delete.


Can someone please help me?

This happened to me tonight. My iPhone on iOS 16.0.2 would not show any music I added to my Library on my Mac. It was missing from Recently Added and from my library in general, yet it was on iPad. *grrrr* Restart, messing with settings, nothing worked.


Try adding any content from Apple Music that you added on another device. I re-added an album from Apple Music and in a few moments, all my previously added music was appearing on iPhone (including songs I'd ripped on Mac and matched/uploaded via iCloud Muisc Library. I'm pretty sure this is an iOS 16 bug. I found a lot of complaints of the same thing back in iOS 13.x where it was fixed eventually by a software update.
