Duplicate songs in Apple Music not only clutter your playlists but can also eat up valuable storage space when you download them for offline listening. This is usually caused by adding the same song to multiple playlists or accidental duplication during sync.

4. How to Uninstall the Apple Music App from iPhone

If you decide to switch to other music streaming services and completely say goodbye to Apple Music, deleting the app is your go-to option. However, it is worth noting that the option to uninstall the Apple Music app on iPhones was officially introduced in iOS 14. For iPhones running older versions, you can only remove the Apple Music app from your home screen, not truly delete it. Below, we will explain how to make it for different iOS versions.

For iPhones with iOS 14 or Later:

Step 1. On your iPhone with iOS 14 or later, tap and hold the Apple Music app.

Step 2. Tap Remove App.

Step 3. Select "Delete App" to completely remove Apple Music from your iPhone. Or you can choose "Remove from Home Screen" to hide the Apple Music app, and you can still access it from the App Library.

For iPhones with iOS 13 or Earlier:

Step 1. Move to "Settings" on your iPhone.

Step 2. Scroll down to tap "Music".

Step 3. Toggle off "Show Apple Music". Then, you can successfully remove Apple Music from the iPhone home screen.

5. How to Remove Devices from Your Apple Music Account on iPhone

In fact, an Apple Music account can be connected to up to 10 devices. Once a device is removed, it will no longer have access to your music library or offline downloads. This helps you better manage your Apple Music account and ensures that only trusted devices can access it. Below, we will go over two common ways to remove devices from Apple Music on iPhone:

On the Apple Music App:

If you want to temporarily disconnect the iPhone you are currently using, you can do so directly within the Apple Music account settings. This will not completely remove the device from your account (it will still be associated upon the next login), but it will suspend that device's access to Apple Music. Here are the steps:

Step 1. Open the Apple Music app on your iPhone.

Step 2. Tap on your profile picture at the top right.

Step 3. Select "Account Settings". Then, you will need to enter the passcode or verify your Face ID.

Step 4. Scroll down to choose the "Remove This Device" option to remove your iPhone from Apple Music without a computer.

On iPhone Settings:

For devices that you don't use frequently or that you no longer use but are still listed, you can remove them through your iPhone settings. Please note that this method is unable to remove the iPhone you are currently using. Here is how you do it:

Step 1. Navigate to "Settings" on your iPhone.

Step 2. Tap on your Apple ID at the top.

Step 3. Find the full list of your authorized devices on the screen.

Step 4. Choose the one you want to deauthorize, and then tap on "Remove from Account".
