Where Do Downloaded Songs Get Saved in Apple Music App for Android?

When you download songs from the Apple Music app on an Android device, they are stored in a protected directory that is not directly accessible through standard file browsing apps. This directory is managed by the app itself to ensure secure and efficient storage. To listen to your downloaded songs, you can use the app directly, which maintains the integrity of the file system and provides a seamless experience.

Once you have located the files, you can manage them manually if needed. However, for the best experience, it is recommended to use the app to access and play your downloaded music.

The 3 Locations Where Downloaded Songs Can Be Found

Internal Root Location or System Location (System/data/data): To access files in these locations, you may need to root your device.
