Apple Music use a lot of storage in my iPhone

H! The Apple Music app in my iPhone is taking up more than 8 GB of storage.

And I don't have any music downloaded at all.

About half a year ago, it was the same, but the app itself reduced the amount of storage to 2 GB. But now it has increased again to 8.57 GB.

What does it depend on? If I uninstall the app and download it again, will it use less storage on my iPhone? (yes I still have 64 Gb in 2025)

iPhone 12, iOS 18

Apple Music app taking up too much storage on iPad Apple Music was taking up over 4 GB on my iPad, even though I have downloaded no content. Frequent offloading to make room for updates allowed for the update but had no impact on the storage when I reinstalled the app. Recently I had to actually delete the app to make room for an update. After the update I reinstalled Apple Music. Now it takes up over 7 GB and storage is so tight the iPad's functioning is negatively affected.

Is it possible to make Music app consume less space on iPhone? I was looking up why my iPhone storage was full, and the first app to appear was Music with 23 Gb, even tho I have downloaded no music. I tried uninstalling it but to no avail. Is there some way to make it take less space? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

My music app shows 15 GB of music, but I have downloaded just 2 GB. Hello, My music app shows 15 GB of music, but I have downloaded just 2 GB. The thing is, I had downloaded 15 GB in past, but forgot to pay my apple music, paid back a week after and my offline collection is reseted (no problem), but it shows now it takes these 15 GB of music, not 2 GB as I downloaded around 2. Do you have any expierence with this behaviour? Thank you :-) A device is iPhone 6S 64 GB, I have latest available software and everything.
