But sometimes, the Album Artwork is not visible for a few songs on Apple Music and that might make the music listening experience bland. Here is a list of solutions to fix Apple Music Album Artwork not showing on iPhone.
1. Switch From Mobile Data to Wi-Fi
Starting with some basic solutions, you can try switching from mobile data to Wi-Fi. While using mobile data, the internet speed will depend on your location and network strength. If Apple Music Album Art is not showing on your iPhone, you may not get optimum speeds on mobile data. That’s why switching to a Wi-Fi network, if possible, is a recommended solution.
2. Switch to a 5GHz Frequency Band
If you are using a dual-band router, you can try switching to a 5GHz frequency band for faster internet speeds. And to be sure that your Internet Service Provider is not facing any downtime or undergoing maintenance in your area, we recommend checking your internet speed.
3. Force Quit and Relaunch Apple Music
Since you have switched to a faster Wi-Fi network, you can also force quit and relaunch the Apple Music app to give it a fresh start on your iPhone. Whenever you feel that an app is not functioning properly on your iPhone or even on Android, you can force quit and restart the app. Follow these steps to force quit and restart Apple Music on iPhone.

Step 2: Once the windows for all the apps appear on your screen, look for Apple Music. Step 3: Tap on it and swipe up to remove it from running in the background on your iPhone.
Step 4: Relaunch Apple Music and check if the problem is solved.
4. Re-Enable Sync Library in Settings
It is possible that the songs that you added to your library from your iPad or Mac might not have synced with your iPhone. In case you can try re-enabling Sync Library from the Settings app. Here’s how to enable Library Sync in settings. Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
