How to move my music to iCloud

My iPhone 32 GB is almost full. The biggest item is music. (4GB). I have 80GB available on my iCloud. I want to move most or all music but have it be available quickly to play

Note that sometimes the Music app does not appear in the list, such as on my multiple Macs (all at current OS as of March 2024). (Apple fail.)

Hello,

Go to Settings > [your-name] > APPS USING ICLOUD > Music and make sure that it is turned on. This will ensure that your music is in iCloud.

However, it won't necessarily solve your problem. When you delete your songs from your iPhone, they will also be deleted from the iCloud.

It would seem that you have several basic solutions:

  1. Delete other content from your iPhone, eg., photos or videos. See this: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
  2. Store your music external to your phone, eg., Dropbox or Amazon Music
  3. Get a phone that has more local storage

Good luck.
