Is there a way to turn off using non-shareable music for photo memories?

Is there a way to turn off using non-shareable music for photo memories? I find it very irritating to have to select the music for those memories that presented to me with non-shareable music.

Hi ldkerluke,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


While it doesn't seem possible to turn that music off for all photo-memories,

there are ways to make other music options available to choose, so they are ready when editing a particular memory.


Online article:

https://appletoolbox.com/change-music-memories-videos/

says under option 2:


"Only music that is DRM-free and that you downloaded onto your iPhone shows up in the Memories Music as options in My Music. So if all your music is via iCloud or streamed, it won’t show up. 


That means you can only use songs without digital rights protection. Like songs you record yourself or ripped from unprotected CDs or DRM songs purchased from the iTunes Store. All Apple Music is protected and cannot be used in any soundtrack for a memory video.
