Your music may still be recoverable. Since it disappeared after the iOS update, try these steps on your iPhone 12 Pro Max before deleting anything.

  1. Go to Settings -> Apps -> Music and make sure Sync Library is turned on.
  2. Open Music and confirm you’re signed in to the same Apple Account you used before.
  3. Connect to Wi-Fi and give your library some time to resync.
  4. Check music.apple.com to see whether your library and playlists are still there.


Important: Don’t turn Sync Library off or delete anything yet, as that can remove downloaded music.


If your music is still missing, check this out: If songs are missing from your music library.
