At some point in the past year (maybe when iOS 12 was installed?), a thing popped up on my iPhone asking me if I want to use optimized storage for music. It sounded good so I hit yes (big mistake).
Now I’m having the problem where my iPhone 6 randomly removes downloads of songs I’ve purchased from iTunes, especially when storage is getting full. However I’m on a slow internet connection, and I don’t stream music thru my wireless carrier, so I end up in my car with no wifi and missing music downloads.
I’ve googled this problem extensively. It’s a fairly well-known problem with an easy solution: go to Settings > Music and uncheck Optimized Storage under Downloads.
But all of the answers from google that show that solution are from 2016/ iOS 10. When I go to Settings > Music, the only thing under Downloads is a list of Downloaded Music. Presumably Apple moved/removed this setting at some point. Nobody seems to have an answer anymore.
Can anyone tell me how the eff to turn this off???
