Apple Music Adds Lyrics Translation & Pronunciation - iOS 26

Apple Music Receives Significant Updates at WWDC 2025

During the WWDC 2025 event, Apple unveiled a series of enhancements for its Apple Music service, coinciding with the release of iOS 26.

New Lyrics Translation Feature

A key addition is a lyrics translation capability. This feature will enable users to comprehend the meaning of songs even when they are in a language they don't understand.

The introduction of this functionality may lead to decreased traffic for websites like Genius.com, which currently serve as resources for song lyrics and interpretations.

Pronunciation Assistance for Singers

Apple is also incorporating a pronunciation tool. This will assist users in accurately singing along to their favorite tracks, avoiding mispronounced words or phrases.

Auto-Mix for Continuous Playback

Furthermore, Apple Music will gain an auto-mix feature. This allows the creation of an uninterrupted stream of music, seamlessly transitioning from one song to the next based on musical similarities.

This new capability potentially positions Apple as a competitor to Spotify’s AI DJ feature, which also focuses on automated music curation.

Enhanced Library Organization

Users will now have the ability to pin their most listened-to artists, albums, and playlists. This provides quick and easy access to preferred content within the Apple Music library.

Karaoke and Audio Control on tvOS

The updates extend to tvOS, where iPhones can be utilized as microphones for karaoke sessions.

Users will also gain control over audio elements such as song vocals and reverb, enhancing the karaoke experience.
