23 January 2024 - Press releaseAdditional features and enhancements released with iOS 17
Contribute to what’s playing in the car with SharePlay. Apple Music brings SharePlay to the car so that everyone can easily choose what’s playing. When users are in a car and listening with Apple Music, other trusted iPhone devices will automatically suggest joining the session. Listeners can control the music from their own devices, even if they don’t have an Apple Music subscription.
Enjoy an even more immersive Apple Music Sing experience with Continuity Camera. With Apple Music Sing and Continuity Camera, users are able to see themselves onscreen and apply all-new camera filters as they sing along to the lyrics of their favourite songs.
Mark and easily find favourite songs. Users can now mark songs as Favourite and find them all in one new playlist, so they can quickly revisit them.
Add even more to Favourite. Apple Music users can also select their favourite albums, playlists and artists. All their favourite music is automatically added to their library and improves their recommendations.
Personalise playlists with cover art. When creating a playlist or updating an older one, users can choose from new cover art templates. As they add music to the playlist, the colors in the template will update to reflect the music in the playlist.
Find new music inspiration with Suggested Songs. Apple Music is making it easier than ever to create and update users’ playlists with Suggested Songs. At the bottom of each playlist are five songs that match the vibe of the playlist they are making. Preview the suggested songs, or refresh to get new suggestions.
Enjoy motion art in Now Playing. Album art now appears full-screen in the music player, including motion where available, creating an even more immersive playback experience that showcases the users’ favourite artists.
Discover the artists behind favourite songs with Song Credits. Music fans can view comprehensive data about the artists who contributed to their favourite tracks, including their roles and the instruments they played.
Crossfade Between Songs. Now users can experience a smooth, gapless playback experience in Apple Music. Songs fade in while the previous song is fading out, creating a continuous mix of their favourite music.
Add Apple Music widgets to Home Screen. Users can now start listening right from the Home Screen. They can also choose from new widgets like personalised top picks, see what friends are listening to, dive into recommended New Releases or listen to music from Top Charts.
