Apple pushed out a fix to the keyboard, which in Apple&#8217;s release notes is described as &#8220;improved keyboard accuracy when typing quickly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" height=\"306\" width=\"768\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch this:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t Wait: iOS 26.4 Brings New Emoji, Keyboard Fixes, AI Playlists\n      <\/p>\n<p>  05:37  <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been feeling frustrated with making typos on your iPhone, perhaps this update could smooth things out a bit. (Or you know, there&#8217;s always new ways to express frustration with the new emoji. Sad trombone, perhaps?)<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s episode of One More Thing, embedded above, goes over a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/download-ios-26-4-iphone\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active\" target=\"_blank\">major changes in iOS 26.4<\/a>, including finding concerts in Apple Music and using AI to design playlists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to keep up with what music acts are coming to my area, but now Apple Music displays upcoming local concerts, and it&#8217;s not just popular musicians. I saw Jimmy Eat World is performing in June, and clicking to get tickets takes me to a portal to connect to the service Bandsintown&#8230; and alas, the performance was sold out. It let me order tickets from resellers jacking up the price. Totally feeling emo after that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a feature called Playlist Playground, which uses AI to generate playlists based on a prompt you feed it and the music you tend to like.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I asked it to show me &#8220;music for being angry that I didn&#8217;t get tickets to see Jimmy Eat World,&#8221; and it came back with Emotionally Charged Emo Anthems for Missing Jimmy Eat World. The playlist featured heroes of the early 2000s emo-rock era, such as Saves The Day, Taking Back Sunday, New Found Glory, Yellowcard and Something Corporate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can keep tweaking before you save. I had to tell it to add some Jimmy Eat World to the playlist, funny enough. The program is in beta, but you don&#8217;t need to have any special Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone to try it &#8212; the feature is for every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/apple-music-review-high-quality-music-minimum-frills\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Music<\/a> user, including Apple Music for Android.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2026\/02\/apple-introduces-a-new-video-podcast-experience-on-apple-podcasts\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Podcasts app<\/a> also got a new feature to include a way to watch your favorite video versions of podcasts &#8212; if the show has it set up to toggle between audio and video.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But even if that doesn&#8217;t excite you enough, sometimes it&#8217;s just about the really simple fixes that make an iOS update worth it. There are new settings to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/apple-unchains-family-members-from-a-single-payment-option-in-new-family-sharing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active\" target=\"_blank\">manage payment methods for adults in a family<\/a> that uses purchase sharing. There are accessibility setting improvements to reducing bright effects and reducing animation for Liquid Glass.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a new ambient music widget to tap into some meditative, calming music at any moment. Like when you need to just chill out about that Jimmy Eat World concert you didn&#8217;t know existed until you updated your phone. Sheesh.<\/p>\n<p>For more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLAl4aZK3mRv3mnDB9unsdLsBywJR1_WFt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\" class=\"c-regularLink\">One More Thing<\/a>, subscribe to our YouTube page to catch Bridget Carey breaking down the latest Apple news and issues every Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You don&#8217;t want to be the last person in your group text to see Bigfoot &#8212; er, the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[257],"tags":[18,19,17,279,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-406692","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-mobile","12":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116301071928246375","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
