Apple Music Search Not Working for Some Subscribers

by

Several Apple Music subscribers this morning are experiencing issues when searching for new music in the Music app on iOS devices.

Many users are reporting that typing a search query into the Apple Music search bar fails to return results, while others are receiving results but seeing a blank screen when tapping the track or artist name for further information.

Quitting the Music app does not solve the issue, nor does restarting the device, while iOS version does not seem to be a factor either.

The problem is trending on Twitter and in Apple Support Communities discussions, and is affecting users around the world, but appears to be restricted to iOS at this time, since Mac users are unable to replicate the issue in the iTunes desktop app.

The issue looks to be with Apple's servers and will likely be resolved when the service is corrected on their end.

Same issue here on 6 family devices. After the Safari Search bar crash issue last week now this I am starting to lose some confidence that Apple has their act together. I mean really.

Oh and the fact that Spotify is $24.99 a month for 4 users as opposed to $14.99. Big difference.
You get what you pay for.

100% Uptime with Spotify in my experience. :D

That sucks. No music discovery for today, I guess.

This worked for me:
Press and hold the Power button until you see the familiar Slide to Power Off option. Instead of rebootingor canceling, though, press and hold the Home button. After a few seconds, your deviceshould return to the Home screen with the RAM cleared out
