Deleting songs from your iPhone 14 is a straightforward process. Whether you need to free up space or you’re just tired of hearing the same old tracks, removing music is as simple as a few taps. Let’s dive into how to do it, step by step.
Step by Step Tutorial: Deleting Songs from iPhone 14
Before we start, know that deleting songs from your iPhone 14 can help clear up storage space and declutter your music library. Ready to get started?
Step 1: Open the Music App
Open the Music app on your iPhone 14.
When you open the Music app, you’ll see your library of songs. If the song you want to delete is not downloaded on your phone, you won’t be able to delete it from here. You have to download it first.
Step 2: Find the Song You Want to Delete
Navigate to the song you wish to delete.
You can scroll through your library or use the search function to find the song faster. Once you’ve found it, the next step is a breeze.
Step 3: Swipe Left on the Song
Swipe left on the song to reveal the delete option.
A red "Delete" button will appear. This action does not delete the song from your Apple Music account entirely; it just removes it from your iPhone 14.
Step 4: Tap "Delete"
Tap the red "Delete" button to remove the song from your iPhone 14.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully deleted a song from your iPhone 14. If you change your mind, you can always re-download the song from the Apple Music app.
After completing these steps, the song will no longer appear in your iPhone 14’s music library. If you’ve deleted the song accidentally, don’t fret – you can always download it again if you’ve purchased it or if you have an Apple Music subscription.
