Classical doesn’t work for family members?

Hi jani247,

Thanks for posting here in Apple Support Communities. Are all of your devices running the latest version of iOS? This can be verified in Settings > General > Software Update.

You've reached us from a great article about Apple Music Classical: Apple Music Classical - Apple Support

Have you also verified that everyone in the Family Sharing group is using the same Apple ID that being used with the Apple Music subscription?

How to get the Apple Music Classical app on your iPhone

* You need an individual, student, or family subscription to Apple Music. Apple Music Classical isn't included with a Voice subscription.

* Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS. 

* Make sure that the Apple Music app is installed on your iPhone and signed in with the same Apple ID that you use with your Apple Music subscription. 

* Go to the App Store to download the Apple Music Classical app on your iPhone.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there a separate app for classical music?

Classical music is different. It has longer and more detailed titles, multiple artists for each work, and hundreds of recordings of well-known pieces. The Apple Music Classical app is designed to support the complex data structure of classical music.

If I have an Apple Music family subscription, can my family access Apple Music Classical?

Your family can access Apple Music Classical as part of your Apple Music family subscription. Your family members need an iPhone that has the Apple Music app installed. And they also need to be signed in to Apple Music with the Apple ID they use with your family subscription.

Kind regards.

I had the same issue but got it fixed by signing out my son’s account in Music App, and logging back in with mine (account organizer).

Have you tried signing out of the Music App, and logging back with the account of the family member organizer?

Hi jani247,

Yes, the App Store for Apple Musical Classical shows you need iOS 15.4 or later, so your iPhone SE is good with iOS 15.7.4.

Since this is a new app, we'd advise to contact Apple Support for help with this issue.

Take care!

Same here. Buttons not working after updating to .4 version. Before that it worked. All buttons can be pushed but don’t do anything.

IOS 16.4 & iPhone SE2 and it does not work. Just as described ivanvanbeek, buttons look like click, but nothing happens.

the same. Buttons do anything on last version (16.4.1)

Why should it do that? the app has to work equally well with any family member, that's why you pay for it, isn't it? I hope Apple fix it
