Apple Music search NOT working: Glitch leaves users unable to look-up artists, tracks

APPLE MUSIC subscribers have been left unable to search within the music streaming app, leaving much of the service impossible to use.

The search feature within Apple Music is down for many subscribers this morning.

Apple Music customers have been left unable to search for new artists, tracks or albums from the catalogue of 30 million songs available to stream.

Some users have reported that typing into the search field in Apple Music on iOS returns no results at all.

Meanwhile, others claim the search will return possible results – but that tapping on any of these loads an empty screen.

NewsNewsBlog.blogspot.com was able to recreate the latter.



The search function in Apple Music is down



Apple Music subscribers flooded Twitter and Apple's own support forums to highlight the issue.
Force quitting the Music app or resetting your iOS device does not resolve the issue.
This suggests the issue is server-side.
The latest glitch comes one week after a bug in Safari caused the web browser to crash whenever a user tapped the address bar.

Sources within Apple say the issue only affected iOS and OS X users whose Safari Suggestions data was updated late on the 26th January, Greenwich Mean Time.
Apple has now rolled out a fix for the glitch, but some users could still be experiencing the infuriating bug.
That's most likely because the iPhone or iPad still has the problematic Safari Suggestions data cached.
Clearing the cache should solve the issues for good. To do that, head to Settings > Safari then tap Clear History and Website Data.
