Does your Amazon Music app refuse to open? Or, do you have an issue where the app doesn\u2019t play your music files? Either way, something\u2019s wrong with the app or your phone. We\u2019ll show you a few ways to get around Amazon Music\u2019s problems on your Apple iPhone, iPad, and Android phones.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some reasons the Amazon Music app doesn\u2019t work include your internet connection isn\u2019t working, Amazon\u2019s servers are down, the Music app has a cache problem, and your app version is outdated.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

1. <\/span>Check Your Wi-Fi or Mobile Data Connection\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Music requires constant access to the internet to stream your multimedia content<\/a>. The app won’t work as expected if your internet connection is acting up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check your phone\u2019s internet connection and ensure it\u2019s active and stable. You can verify your connection\u2019s status by launching your phone\u2019s web browser and opening a site. If you can load the site, your connection is working. If the site fails to load, your connection has an issue.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can switch between Wi-Fi and cellular data to make the Music app work. You can also try to troubleshoot your internet problems<\/a> or seek your internet service provider\u2019s help.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/span>See if Amazon Music Is Down\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like other streaming services, Amazon\u2019s Music servers can go down, causing streaming issues with your app. In this case, the Music app either won\u2019t play any songs at all or won\u2019t display your song list.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way to check if the service is experiencing an issue is to head to a site like Downdetector<\/a>. This site will tell you if Amazon Music is facing an outage.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If the service is indeed down, you\u2019ll have to wait until Amazon brings it back up. Unfortunately, there\u2019s nothing you can do on your end to resolve the issue.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Force Close and Reopen the App to Fix Amazon Music Not Working<\/span>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Music\u2019s minor glitches can cause your songs to stop playing. In this case, you can force quit and relaunch the app on your phone to fix the issue.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that you can only force apps to close on Android. You\u2019ll have to close and reopen the app the usual way on an iPhone and iPad.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Android\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open Settings<\/span> on your phone.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select Apps<\/span> > App management<\/span> in Settings.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tap Amazon Music<\/span> on the list.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Choose Force stop<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Select Force stop<\/span> in the prompt.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Relaunch the app from your app drawer or home screen.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      On iPhone and iPad\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Swipe up from the bottom of your phone\u2019s screen and pause in the middle.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Find and swipe up on Amazon Music<\/span> to close the app.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Reopen the app from your home screen.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        4. <\/span>Restart Your iPhone, iPad, or Android Phone\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If relaunching the app didn\u2019t fix your issue, restart your phone<\/a> to resolve the problem. Your phone may be experiencing a system glitch, causing your installed apps to malfunction. Rebooting the phone should fix that problem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Make sure to save your unsaved work before powering off your device.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        On Android\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Open the Power<\/span> menu by pressing and holding down the Power<\/span> button.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Select Restart<\/span> in the menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

          On iPhone (iOS)\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Press and hold down Volume Up<\/span> + Side<\/span> or Volume Down<\/span> + Side<\/span> buttons simultaneously.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Drag the slider to the right.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Press and hold down the Side<\/span> button to turn on your phone.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              On iPad (iPadOS)\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Press and hold down Volume Up<\/span> + Top<\/span> or Volume Down<\/span> + Top<\/span> buttons at the same time.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Drag the slider to turn off your tablet.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Turn on your tablet by pressing and holding down the Top<\/span> button.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                5. <\/span>Clear Amazon Music\u2019s Cache Files\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Amazon Music stores cache files on your device to deliver you content faster. These files sometimes become corrupt, resulting in various app problems. Your Amazon Music app not working or not playing songs may be the result of a bad app cache.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Fortunately, you can resolve that by clearing the app\u2019s cache files on your phone<\/a>. This deletes the problematic cache, allowing the app to rebuild a fresh new cache with no issues.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                You don\u2019t lose your saved playlist, login session, or other data when you clear the app\u2019s cache. Also, note that you can only remove an app\u2019s cache files on Android. You\u2019ll have to uninstall and reinstall the app to clear its cache on an iPhone and iPad.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Open Settings<\/span> on your Android phone.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Select Apps<\/span> > App management<\/span> in Settings.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Choose Amazon Music<\/span> on the list.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Select Storage usage<\/span> to view the app\u2019s storage overview.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Tap Clear cache<\/span> to remove the app\u2019s cached data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                    \n
                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                    If your issue persists after clearing the cache, delete the app\u2019s data files by choosing Clear data<\/span>. This logs you out of the app but helps fix many issues.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    6. <\/span>Update Amazon Music on Your Phone\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    Outdated app versions often don\u2019t work well, and your Amazon Music version may be one of them. An old app version causes crashes, stability, and various other kinds of problems.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Luckily, you can fix that by simply updating the app on your phone<\/a>. It\u2019s quick, easy, and free to do that, and we\u2019ll show you how.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    On Android\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Open Play Store<\/span> on your phone.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. Find Amazon Music<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                      \n
                      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. Select Update<\/span> next to the app in the search results.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                        On iPhone and iPad\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        1. Launch App Store<\/span> on your phone.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        2. Select Updates<\/span> at the bottom.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                          \n
                          \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                            \n
                          1. Choose Update<\/span> next to Amazon Music<\/span> on the list.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                            7. <\/span>Uninstall and Reinstall Amazon Music on Your Smartphone\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            If your Amazon Music app continues to remain dysfunctional, your app\u2019s core files might be faulty. You can\u2019t go in and fix those files yourself, so your best option is to remove the current app<\/a> and redownload and reinstall the app from the respective app store on your device.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Doing so deletes all the current app files, removing any files that may be problematic. Then, reinstalling the app brings new files that have no issues.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            You\u2019ll have to log back into your Amazon account when you reinstall the Music app, so keep your logins handy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            On Android\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            1. Launch your phone\u2019s app drawer and find Amazon Music<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            2. Tap and hold on the app and select Uninstall<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                              \n

                                  2. Choose X<\/span> in the app\u2019s top-left corner.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  3. Select Delete<\/span> in the prompt.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  4. Open App Store<\/span>, find Amazon Music<\/span>, and select the download icon.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                    Amazon Music\u2019s issues can prevent you from listening to your favorite music tracks on the app. If your problems don\u2019t go away after a basic relaunch of the app, follow the methods outlined above.

                                    Once you have that, launch the app and continue to listen to your favorite songs<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
