Apple’s latest software update doesn’t just change how your devices look with the new Liquid Glass design now extending across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS it also changes how you listen. Apple Music is getting its most significant update in years, one that focuses less on shiny visuals and more on what matters most: how you discover, enjoy, and connect with music.
The update feels designed for listeners who want more control, deeper context, and a smoother experience. From real-time lyric translations to smart transitions between songs, here’s what’s new and why it matters.
Lyrics, Now in Any Language
Lyrics have always been one of Apple Music’s most engaging features but now, they’re going global. The new Lyrics Translation and Pronunciation tools help listeners understand and sing along to songs across languages.
Lyrics Translation uses machine learning to translate words while keeping cultural context and tone intact, and Pronunciation helps you follow along even when the song isn’t in your native tongue. More languages will be added over the next year a quiet but meaningful push toward making music more universal.
Sing-Along, Upgraded
Apple Music Sing gets a fun new layer of interactivity. You can still lower the original vocals and sing along with real-time, beat-matched lyrics, but now you can turn your iPhone into a mic that projects your voice through your TV. And with Continuity Camera, you can even see yourself on screen as you perform essentially turning any living room into a karaoke stage.
AutoMix: Seamless, DJ-Like Transitions
The new AutoMix mode is one of the most underrated additions. It intelligently blends one track into the next using beat-matching and time-stretching, creating transitions that feel natural, like a DJ set built for your mood. It doesn’t apply to albums or mixes that already have curated transitions — a subtle sign Apple is respecting artistic intent while still enhancing everyday listening.
Pin Your Favourites
Finding your favourite songs and albums is now simpler. With Music Pins, you can stick your go-to artists, playlists, or albums right at the top of your library. It’s a small but smart addition — especially for users with large libraries or shared devices.
A More Personal Home and Lock Screen
Apple Music now plays better with your device’s interface. The new Pins and Live Radio widgets let you start listening right from the Home Screen one tap to your pinned playlists or live radio stations. Meanwhile, animated album art on the Lock Screen brings a visual rhythm to playback, syncing with the new Liquid Glass design for a more dynamic look.
Why This Update Matters
Taken together, this isn’t just a cosmetic update it’s a deeper rethink of how users interact with Apple Music daily. The experience now sits somewhere between personal radio, language teacher, and home karaoke setup.
For a service that’s often played catch-up to competitors on discovery features, this update feels more confident prioritising subtle, human touches over algorithmic flash.
