iOS 16.2 on iPhones and iPadOS 16.2 on iPads gained a few features and upgrades over the predecessors. One of the features that have been added is Apple Music Sing, a karaoke-based mode for Apple Music. It lets you perform karaoke on Apple Music while enjoying features like vocal volume adjustments and real-time lyrics.
Once you set the new karaoke-style mode in motion, it shows you animated real-time lyrics that change with the vocals and the rhythm of the song as usual. Users get a first-hand experience in this style where they can lower vocals to keep their voices dominant.
Apple Music Sing shows lines that make it easier for readers to stay on a perfect course with the song. You can enter a duet mode if there is more than one participant. Songs with multiple vocals will display lyrics on either sides of the screen to make it easier for other people to contribute and enjoy.
How To Use Apple Music Sing on iPhone or iPad?
With the onset of iOS 16.2 on iPhones and iPadOS 16.2 on iPad, you gain the functionality to leverage it on your device. You have to upgrade to this version via Settings >> General >> Software Update to get your hands on the feature. Once you have it, here’s how to actually use Apple Music Sing on iPhone/iPad.
Step #1: First up, open the Apple Music app on your device.
