Method 1: Use iPhone Settings
The first method for seeing how many songs have been saved on your iPhone is by using the device's settings. Follow these steps:
- Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on "Music".
- In this screen, you will see "Available Space" which indicates the total space of the music library present on your iPhone.
- Beneath this, you will also find "Songs", which indicates the total number of songs present in your music library.
Note that this method will only give you an approximate estimate of the number of songs present in your music library. In fact, if you've synced your iPhone with iTunes on a computer, you may have songs that aren't displayed in this screen.
However, this method is still useful for getting a general idea of the number of songs present on your iPhone and the space occupied by your music library.
Method 2: Use iTunes
Another way to check how many songs have been saved on your iPhone is by using Apple's media management software, iTunes.
Step 1: Connect Your iPhone to the Computer
Connect your iPhone to the computer using a USB cable. Open iTunes if it doesn't open automatically.
Step 2: Access the "Devices" section
Click on your iPhone icon in the top left menu bar of iTunes. This will take you to the "Devices" section.
Step 3: View Music Information
In the "Summary" section, scroll down until you find the "Options" section. Here you'll find the option for "Show Music Info". Make sure it's selected.
Step 4: Check Quantity of Songs
Go back to the "Devices" section and click "Music". Here you can view all the songs that have been synced with your iPhone. Additionally, you can see the total quantity of songs present on the device at the bottom of the window.
- Note: If you've enabled iCloud Music Library, you may not be able to see all the songs saved on your device through this method.
Method 3: Use Third-Party Apps
If you don't want to use iTunes or iCloud to see how many songs are saved on your iPhone, you can try using third-party apps. There are several apps available on the App Store that can help you manage your music library and view the number of songs on your device.
Steps to use a third-party app:
- Open the App Store on your iPhone and search for "music manager" or "file manager"
- Select an app from the available options and download it
- Open the app and grant necessary permissions to access your music library
- Find the section dedicated to your music library in the app and view the number of songs on your device
Remember that some apps may require a subscription or in-app purchase to access all features. Additionally, it's important to choose only reliable apps and read user reviews before downloading them.
In general, using a third-party app can be a good option if you don't like using iTunes or iCloud. However, always make sure to choose reliable and secure apps to protect your personal data.
