Apple Music users got a ton of new features<\/a> in iOS 26, but with iOS 26.1\u2019s release yesterday<\/a>, the upgrades keep coming. iOS 26.1 introduces a new swipe gesture for changing tracks in the Music app.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

iOS 26.1 lets you swipe on MiniPlayer to change tracks<\/h2>\n

Apple\u2019s Music app in iOS 26 changed up the bottom of the screen where the MiniPlayer lives.<\/p>\n

Now, when the tab bar is collapsed, it gets merged into a single row with the MiniPlayer and search controls.<\/p>\n

But despite the MiniPlayer now being smaller much of the time inside the Music app, it\u2019s gained a new feature in the latest iPhone update.<\/p>\n

iOS 26.1 now lets you swipe left and right on the MiniPlayer to quickly, conveniently change tracks.<\/p>\n

This works whether the MiniPlayer is fully expanded above the tab bar, or shrunk down next to the tab bar.<\/p>\n

The new swipe gesture feels great, aided by some nice Liquid Glass effects and a tap of haptic feedback when the track is changed.<\/p>\n

Swiping left advances to the next song in your queue, while swiping right goes back to the prior track.<\/p>\n

Very quickly, the new gesture became second nature to me. It\u2019s a great alternative to using the standard seek controls in the Now Playing screen.<\/p>\n
