If you’ve noticed that iTunes Radio is missing from your Music app on iOS, don’t worry – there are a few easy solutions to get it back. This bug seems to affect some iOS devices, causing the radio button to disappear from the Music app entirely. However, by following these methods, you can restore iTunes Radio and start streaming your favorite songs again.
Method 1: Kill the Music App
If quitting the Music app doesn’t bring back iTunes Radio, you can try this quick trick:
- Double-tap the Home button to open the app switcher.
- Swipe to find the Music app, then swipe up to close it.
- Return to the home screen and reopen the Music app. The Radio option should now be visible.
Method 2: Confirm Apple ID and Restart
If the first method doesn’t work, you can try this slightly more involved solution:
- Open the Settings app and go to iTunes & App Store.
- Tap on your Apple ID and sign in to the iTunes Store to confirm your credentials.
- Exit the settings and hold down the power button on your iOS device until the “Slide to Power Off” option appears. Swipe to turn off your device.
- Press and hold the power button again to turn your device back on.
- Once your device has restarted, open the Music app and check if the Radio option has returned.
For some reason, simply quitting and reopening the Music app may not be enough. Restarting the device after confirming your Apple ID seems to fix the issue. Keep in mind that you’ll need a U.S. Apple ID to access iTunes Radio, and if you’ve switched between different accounts, that could cause the radio option to disappear.
