Apple has made several updates to the Apple Music<\/a> app in iOS 26<\/a>, and it has AutoMix, which has become one of the most popular additions. \u200cApple Music\u200c also features the Liquid Glass redesign like the rest of Apple’s apps, along with new translation features and other quality of life improvements.<\/p>\n

\"iOS<\/p>\n

AutoMix<\/p>\n

AutoMix is an upgrade to the crossfade feature in \u200cApple Music\u200c, and it is designed to provide more seamless song transitions. It transitions from one song to another as the song that’s playing ends, using time stretching and beat matching for an undetectable shift.<\/p>\n

\"apple
Apple says that AutoMix is meant to work like a DJ, with songs transitioning at the “perfect moment” based on an on-device analysis of the key and tempo of the music.<\/p>\n

AutoMix can be enabled when opening up the \u200cApple Music\u200c app for the first time after installing \u200ciOS 26\u200c.<\/p>\n

The feature isn’t perfect and it works better with some genres than others, but it is a work in progress that Apple is improving over time. AutoMix is not an Apple Intelligence<\/a> feature, but it does require an \u200cApple Music\u200c subscription.<\/p>\n

Lyric Translation<\/p>\n

If you’re listening to a song in a different language, you can now open up the lyrics and get a real-time translation so you know what it’s about. The translated lyrics are displayed alongside the original lyrics.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Lyric Pronunciation<\/p>\n

For songs in another language, you can also get a phonetic pronunciation guide for singing them aloud, which is useful when taking advantage of the \u200cApple Music\u200c Sing karaoke feature.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Pinned Favorites<\/p>\n

There’s now an option to pin up to six playlists, albums, artists, or songs to the top of the \u200cApple Music\u200c library.<\/p>\n

\"pin<\/p>\n

Playlist Folders<\/p>\n

Playlists can be organized into folders in the iOS \u200cApple Music\u200c app, a feature that has previously been limited to the Mac.<\/p>\n

\"music<\/p>\n

There are new Home Screen<\/a> widgets that show your pinned \u200cApple Music\u200c content. There’s a medium-sized widget and a larger widget for pins, along with a new large Live Radio widget.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Animated Lock Screen Artwork<\/p>\n

The Lock Screen now features full-screen animated art for the Now Playing widget while music is playing.<\/p>\n

\"liquid<\/p>\n

Karaoke Microphone<\/p>\n

tvOS 26 and \u200ciOS 26\u200c turn the iPhone<\/a> into a wireless microphone<\/a> for karaoke on the Apple TV<\/a>. When using \u200cApple Music\u200c Sing, each participant can sing through their \u200ciPhone\u200c, queue songs up, and send emoji reactions.<\/p>\n
