Keeping an Apple Music library consistent across an iPhone, iPad and Mac is one of the subscription's core perks — and according to a new Engadget guide, enabling it takes less effort than many subscribers assume. The whole thing, the site reports, comes down to flipping a single toggle.

The setting in question keeps a subscriber's collection — saved albums, playlists, library additions — mirrored across every device signed into the same account. Engadget's walkthrough covers where the toggle lives and how to confirm it's working, aimed at users who've been manually recreating playlists or wondering why a song saved on one device never shows up on another.

It's a reminder of a recurring pattern in Apple's ecosystem: the features that make the subscription feel seamless are often buried a settings-pane deep, off by default or easy to miss during setup. For the price of a monthly Apple Music subscription, cross-device sync is table stakes — but only if you know the switch exists.
