New Apple Music Features Arrive in iOS 27.3 Beta
New Capabilities for Apple Music Users
Apple has released the first beta version of its upcoming operating system update, iOS 27.3, which includes several interesting changes for music service enthusiasts. While the full version will be available to the general public next month, the new features are already known.
Selfie Sing: Karaoke at a New Level
The most significant addition in iOS 27.3 is a feature called "Selfie Sing." This tool builds upon the existing capabilities of Apple Music Sing, transforming them into a full-fledged, independent video tool. With this new feature, users can create their own karaoke videos while performing their favourite songs, which can then be easily shared on social networks, including TikTok and Instagram. Beta testers can already try out the feature by searching for the dedicated "Selfie Sing" playlist.
Updated Visuals in Landscape Mode
The second change concerns the display of lyrics in landscape orientation. Previously, this visual effect was only available for iPhone Duo models, but Apple has now decided to roll it out to all supported iPhones. Specifically, while music is playing, the animated album art blends more deeply into the lyrics background, offering users a more aesthetic and modern experience.
What Do These Changes Mean?
These Apple Music updates highlight the company's commitment to turning music streaming into an interactive and social experience rather than just a listening process. The introduction of "Selfie Sing" is clearly aimed at a younger audience, for whom creating and sharing short videos is part of their daily routine. As for the visual improvements, this detail gives the interface a more premium and refined look.
The current cost of the Apple Music service is $11.99 per month, though it is also available as part of the Apple One bundle, which combines various Apple services. Once the stable version of iOS 27.3 is released, these features will automatically become available to all users who update their devices. For users who actively utilize the Apple ecosystem, these updates will make using the music service even more enjoyable.
