So. I have my whole music library matched in the cloud. In iOS 9 it was possible to download all albums by an artist for offline listening, for example I could just select Coldplay and then press Download and all 10 Coldplay albums in my library were downloaded.

Have Apple removed this in iOS 10? Can't find it anywhere. Really annoying to have to select all 10 albums one by one and click Download instad of doing it once.

Force touch or long press on an album to download each. I don't remember it being different but it's not something I've used that often.

Just came here to ask this. This is absolutely horrible. A completed PITA when you have a ton of albums from one artist.

There is a work around.

Make a playlist featuring those albums then you can download that playlist.

That's a messy solution. I'd either have to make several playlists or one big one which inevitably will have issues downloading all songs onto my iPhone. Something iCloud Music is known for.

They should have just not gotten rid of this feature.
