Apple Music down, not working or shows 'Resource Unavailable' error? You're not alone

In the music streaming services segment, Apple Music is one of the most well-known names. It is also a favorite among Apple device users thanks to how it seamlessly integrates into the ecosystem.

Apple Music is available from the web version and apps for both iOS and Android devices. Recently, users of the service received their annual ‘Replay’, although it was not working correctly for some.

However, currently Apple Music users are unable to enjoy their favorite songs as the service is down or not working, just showing a ‘Resource Unavailable’ error.

According to multiple reports, most of the Apple Music song catalog is unavailable at the time of this writing due to users getting a ‘Resource Unavailable’ error message.

As iOS 16.2 stable just arrived, some users think that the problem is because of the update. However, it seems to be a problem on the Apple Music servers side.

iOS 16.2 has completely broken Apple Music on my iPhone X. OK, I don’t get the new ‘sing’ feature, but most of the time, songs won’t play at all. Just get ‘resource unavailable’. Other streaming music apps are fine.
