Apple has rolled out one of its biggest updates yet for Apple Music, introducing new features designed to make the experience of listening, discovering, and interacting with music more seamless and engaging. The latest software updates across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS bring fresh design changes and smart functionality upgrades that enhance how users connect with their favorite songs and artists.
The most notable addition is the Lyrics Translation and Pronunciation feature, introduced as part of iOS 26. This allows users to view translated lyrics in real time while listening to songs in different languages, helping them follow the meaning without breaking the rhythm. The pronunciation support further enhances this by allowing users to sing along accurately, even if they are unfamiliar with the language — making karaoke sessions more accessible and fun. Apple says the translations use machine learning fine-tuned by language experts to maintain lyrical emotion and context, with more languages to be added soon.
Another fun upgrade is Apple Music Sing, a feature that transforms the iPhone into a microphone for an interactive karaoke experience. Lyrics appear beat by beat on the screen, and thanks to Continuity Camera support, users can even see themselves performing live on the TV alongside dynamic visual effects.
To elevate the party vibe further, Apple has introduced AutoMix — a clever addition that automatically blends songs by matching their tempo and rhythm, delivering smooth, DJ-style transitions. It’s designed to keep playlists flowing naturally without awkward silences, though it stays off for albums or mixes where transitions are already part of the design.
For those who like easy access to their favorite content, Apple Music now includes Music Pins. This lets users pin songs, albums, playlists, or artists right at the top of their library for faster access. The new Home Screen widgets make it even better, with options to jump straight to pinned content or start a live radio station with a single tap.
Visually, the Apple Music app now embraces a stunning Liquid Glass design aesthetic, enhancing the overall interface with sleek, fluid effects. The Lock Screen also feels more dynamic, with animated album covers and refreshed playback controls that complement the modern design.
Beyond the new features, Apple is emphasizing the depth and quality of its music catalogue, which now offers over 100 million songs available in Lossless Audio and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. In India, the library continues to grow across regional languages like Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali, making Apple Music an even more inclusive and global listening platform.
With these updates, Apple Music is not just evolving — it’s reimagining how users engage with their favorite sounds, turning listening into a more personal, interactive, and immersive experience.
