Apple today released iOS 26.2 for iPhone users<\/a>, and the update brings several key changes for Apple Music. There\u2019s also a fix for a viral bug that impacted the release of new albums on the service \u2026 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Apple says that iOS 26.2 includes the following new features and changes for Apple Music:<\/p>\n The first new feature is essentially an extension of the \u201cFavorites\u201d playlist that debuted as part of iOS 17.2.<\/a> What\u2019s changed is that Apple is making it easier to discover by also surfacing it in the \u201cHome\u201d tab of the Apple Music app.<\/p>\n When I wrote about offline lyrics support<\/a> in Apple Music last month after the first iOS 26.2 beta was released, I was shocked at how excited people were about it. It\u2019s a nice quality-of-life upgrade that you\u2019ll be glad exists when the need for it does arise. Plus, it\u2019s another advantage for Apple Music over Spotify, which still requires a network connection to access lyrics.<\/p>\n Finally, iOS 26.2 fixes a long-standing Apple Music bug that went viral when Taylor Swift released her \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d album back in October. Swifties who pre-saved the album to their Apple Music library couldn\u2019t actually listen to it right away when the album was released. This, naturally, led to an uprising among frustrated Apple Music users.<\/p>\n Apple promises that iOS 26.2 fixes the problem, so when Taylor Swift releases her next album, everything should go much smoother.<\/p>\n You can subscribe to Apple Music for $10.99<\/a> or as part of the Apple One bundle<\/a>. <\/p>\n Follow Chance<\/strong>:\u00a0Threads<\/a>,\u00a0Bluesky<\/a>,\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, and\u00a0Mastodon<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> More.<\/a><\/p>\n\n
