This just isn't true. You can easily browse your songs on an iPhone in the Music app by album, artist, song, genre, etc. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, or maybe you're not familiar with the UI?

I have iOS 9.2 and updated Music to the latest version. There is no "view all songs". But perhaps you found some way? Like I just want to see all songs, not playlists, not genres, everything. I'd love to find out :)

Go to "my music" and where it says "Artists" (it's pink) with the downward carrot, press it - you'll get a list where "songs" is an item.

The reason you couldn't figure it out is because Apple has completely abandoned usability in favor of a comically flat UI aesthetic.

Wow. Many thanks! Such a dumb UI decision.

I'm constantly re-discovering functionality hidden behind buttons that don't look like buttons in iOS.

My Music > Tap the red "Artists" button beneath the scrolling list of recent songs at the top.

A UI disaster that most Music users will never discover.
