Share Tunes in the Car: Now, you can use SharePlay to control the music while driving, thanks to CarPlay. Everyone in the car can chip in and pick songs.

All About the Artists: Get the full scoop on who contributed to your favorite tracks—like who played what instrument.
Widget Wonders: Play or pause music directly from the new widget. Plus, more options like ‘Top Charts’ are coming.
New Look Mini-Player: It’s now rounded and less in-your-face.
Smooth Song Transitions: iOS finally gets the crossfade feature. Choose how long you want the overlap between songs to be.
Smart Speaker Suggestions: Open the Music app, and it’ll prompt you to play music on your most-used HomePods or smart speakers. It even knows which room you’re in.
Memory Lane in a Journal App: Apple will soon release a Journal app that’ll give you personalized prompts to jot down memories, based on things like the songs you’ve listened to.
Karaoke Time: With Apple Music Sing, use your iPhone and Apple TV to sing along to songs, complete with live lyrics on the screen.
