Apple Music Replay looks stunning in iOS 26
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Apple Music is getting several new features in iOS 26. Alongside the revamped design with Apple's new Liquid Glass UI, it seems the company has finally figured out how to create a native Apple Music Replay experience on its music platform. This was first noted by X user Dylan. If you open Apple Music Replay in iOS 18, you'll see a different tab highlighting your musical goals for the month. In contrast, iOS 26 gives it a stunning new look, with everything blending together for a more integrated experience. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 When you open the Apple Music Replay card on the new Apple Music Home tab, you'll get a similar but improved experience. You can select the months and the year you want to see your Replay. What's interesting is that Apple is including information from the early Apple Music days, which for me means even the tunes I was rocking back in 2016. While the data might be limited in the early years, you can still compare how much you listened to an artist, song, or album from one year to the next. If you're using more recent data, such as 2023 or 2024, you can also get your Highlight Reel. Interestingly, the Highlight Reel experience still feels very similar to what you get on the web, but it's fair to assume Apple is preparing a more trend-driven annual Apple Music Replay for 2025. iOS 26 is also adding the following features to Apple Music: AutoMix: Apple Music is getting a DJ-style feature that seamlessly mixes one song into the next. This should improve on iOS 18's crossfade feature. Lyrics Translation: The lyrics translation feature helps you better understand your favorite foreign-language songs. Auto-pin Favorite Songs: One of the unannounced features is the ability to pin your favorite songs, artists, albums, or playlists to the top of your library. You can even long-press on an album, playlist, or artist to choose a Tap Action, such as 'Go to Album/Artist/Playlist,' 'Play,' or 'Shuffle.' Below, you can learn more about the other Apple Music features coming with iOS 26.

Apple Music's year-round alternative to Spotify Wrapped has just landed – here's how to find it

The Apple Music Recap for 2025 has begun You can now see your listening stats for January A full recap appears at the end of the year Spotify Wrapped famously drops for music fans towards the end of each year, but if you're an Apple Music subscriber you don't need to wait until December to get a look back over your listening history – and the platform's first monthly recap for 2025 has just appeared. The feature is called Replay 2025, and you can find your January playlist by opening up the Home tab in Apple Music on the desktop, on the web, and on mobile. Scroll all the way down to find the Replay 2025 songs, and you can then tap to open the playlist and add it to your library. Not everyone on the TechRadar team has seen Replay 2025 show up yet, so it may take a little while to reach you. As 9to5Mac reports though, plenty of listeners are seeing their song selections show up, so you shouldn't have to wait too long to get it. You can also head to the dedicated Apple Music Replay microsite to access your latest charts on the web, which should work even if you aren't seeing an entry for the playlist appear on the app's Home tab yet. The playlist updates with your most listened to tracks as you go through the year, month by month – so just the stats for January are available now. There is an entry for February shown, but there are no stats available yet. You'll be shown how many listening minutes you've banked, together with your top tracks and top artists. Number of plays and the amount of time spent listening are both taken into account, Apple says. As the year goes on, Apple Music Recap will note the milestones you pass as well: total minutes listened for example, or that total number of artists you've listened to. These will be split up by month in the same way as the listening stats. Towards the end of the year you get a full recap of the last 12 months, covering everything you've listened to – so you don't miss out on the final round-up. You can also find playlists built from previous annual recaps at the bottom of the Home tab in the Apple Music apps.
