Apple Music is easily one of the best music streaming services you can subscribe to at the moment. It’s right up there with Spotify in terms of its music library. Apple’s music streaming service does support high-quality music streaming. Although, it only streams high-quality music on Wi-Fi by default. If you listen to music on mobile data, you might notice a drop in the quality of the music. This feature helps save your mobile data by dropping the music streaming quality.
However, if you’ve got a high cellular data cap, then you might want to enable high quality streaming on Apple Music. Doing this will increase the audio quality even when listening to music using your mobile data. Although, the ‘high quality’ does not mean the best quality. Before you proceed, do note that this will increase your mobile data usage and only toggle on the feature if you are on an unlimited data plan.
Additionally, you can switch between high quality and low-quality music streaming when needed. Thus, you wouldn’t have to worry about exceeding your monthly data limit. Thus, without any further ado, let’s check out how to enable the High Quality on Cellular option in Apple’s music streaming app on Android.

Most other music streaming apps offer the option to toggle on or off high quality streaming on cellular data.
