If downloaded or purchased audiobooks not showing up in the Books app. Here are 8 ways to solve this issue on your iPhone or iPad.
Audiobooks are accessible from the Books app on iPhone in iOS 13. You can also listen to them on your Apple Watch. However, if your purchased audiobooks are not showing on your iPhone or iPad, you can fix it with the solutions in this post. It is not certain why this issue happened in the first place, but let’s see what we can do about it.
The first step is to make sure that the audiobook isn’t hidden. If it is, here is how to unhide it so that you can listen to it again.
It is rare but quite possible that Apple servers are temporarily down, preventing audiobook downloads. To check this, go to the Apple System Status page and see that the App Store, Apple ID, and iTunes Store are available.
Now, drag the Books app card up to force close it. After a few seconds, relaunch the app and try downloading the audiobook.
In addition to this, you may also quit all open apps using the same method and then open the Books app.
Open the Settings app → Tap on General, and then tap on Shut Down.
Once you switch on your iPhone after a minute, this audiobook issue will most likely be solved.
That’s all!
