WiFi at work can occasionally drop. I'm trying to listen to Apple Music on my iPhone 6 Plus but it keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes or so. It said to enable cellular for Apple Music in the settings app, but when I went in there it shows a single switch for turning automatic downloads and Apple Music. I have automatic updates turned on for apps because it's annoying otherwise, but I don't want all my apps to update over LTE and use all my data. Music doesn't use very much data compared to apps and I only need it for when the WiFi briefly drops. Is that my only option to have one switch for all or is there a hidden setting somewhere? Otherwise Apple needs to add separate switches in iOS 9!
 
Same as normal

Settings > iTunes and App Store
I was actually talking about that settings page in my post. When I'm streaming Apple Music I either have to turn off automatic app updates or stay on WiFi and turn off the "Use Cellular Data" switch because that switch is used for both. I have tons of apps that update frequently and don't want it using my my cellular installing automatic updates. It sucks to have to disable automatic updates for apps just to listen to Apple Music on LTE when my WiFi briefly drops out. Is there no other setting for this somewhere?
