48 views
Apple Music takes up significant storage primarily due to downloaded songs and data cache. Each song you download for offline listening can use several megabytes of space, and over time, this adds up. Also, the app stores cache to speed up your experience. To free up space, regularly clear the cached data within the app and manage your downloaded music library, removing tracks you no longer listen to. Accessing songs online, if you have a stable internet connection, can also help save space.
