Hey all,

I have a question, and I don't know if I'm wording it wrong on Google or what...but I have a new phone coming on Tuesday, and I wondered when I restore from backup, if there's a way to have the Apple Music downloads I currently have downloaded...download to my new phone?

I had a screen replaced by apple recently, and restored from my backup, and my existing songs that were stored on my computer in iTunes, transferred just fine to my phone. But my downloads from Apple music were not automatically re-downloaded. I had to go through and manually re-download them all, which is fine, but can be kind of time consuming.

So I was just curious if I'm missing something or if this is possible! Thanks so much in advance

(edit: these are not iTunes purchases I'm wondering about. But just songs I downloaded after activating my Apple Music account. They show up in the cloud, just not stored on my phone)
