Apple Music and Music Settings keep crashing after latest iOS update

After updating to the latest iOS, Apple Music force closes within 2–3 seconds every time I open it. The Music section in Settings also crashes immediately, which makes it impossible to manage settings or disable Sync Library.

I have already tried the following:

• 
  
• Restarted iPhone multiple times (3x).
• 
  
• 
  
• Deleted and reinstalled Apple Music (4x).
• 
  
• 
  
• Reset all settings.
• 
  
• 
  
• Tried offloading the app from iPhone Storage.
• 
  

None of these steps worked. I also cannot clear or delete Apple Music data at all.

Impact:

• 
  
• Cannot use Apple Music at all.
• 
  
• 
  
• Cannot access or change Music settings.
• 
  
• 
  
• Device is stuck with Apple Music crashing continuously.
• 
  

Device Details:

• 
  
• iPhone 14 Pro
• 
  
• 
  
• iOS 26 (latest)
• 
  
• 
  
• Apple Music [preinstalled, latest version]
• 
  

Please advise if there is any workaround, or confirm if this is a known bug that will be addressed in an upcoming update.
