New Apple Music features with iOS 18
Collaborative Listening with SharePlay
With updates to SharePlay with Apple Music, even more users can share control of music playing from HomePod, Apple TV, or any Bluetooth-enabled speaker, making listening together even more fun and rewarding. Participants do not need to have an Apple Music subscription to contribute to what’s playing.
Greater Accessibility with Music Haptics
Apple Music introduces Music Haptics, a way for users who are deaf or hard of hearing to experience music on iPhone. With this feature enabled, the Taptic Engine in iPhone plays taps, textures, and refined vibrations to the audio of the music. Music Haptics works across millions of songs in the Apple Music catalogue, and will be available as an API for developers to make music accessible in their apps.
