Through the WWDC 2023 keynote, Apple introduced Apple Music would get a handful of options with iOS 17. Certainly one of them, the flexibility to collaborate on different folks’s playlists, was the perform that obtained me excited essentially the most.
Whereas Cupertino mentioned it might come at a later date, with the discharge of the primary beta of iOS 17.2, Apple is now previewing what may turn out to be the most effective capabilities accessible on Apple Music thus far.
As I beforehand talked about in my Apple Music items, I actually miss the shortage of social options on the music streaming service. With Spotify, I can see what my associates are listening to; we will create AI playlists that match our tastes, uncover new songs, and extra.

Luckily, Apple is lastly bettering Apple Music with some attention-grabbing options. With iOS 17.1, for instance, the music streaming service lastly suggests songs based mostly in your style whilst you create or edit a playlist.
Though it nonetheless lacks a little bit of intelligence, as a Taylor Swift-only playlist can have different artists’ options, it’s good that Apple is utilizing the songs you want that can assist you enhance your lists. As well as, favoriting songs, artists, and albums is a brand new function of iOS 17.1. And with iOS 17.2, Apple even created a playlist of consumer’s Favourite songs – just like the way you add songs to your Library on Spotify.
That mentioned, I believe collaborative playlists on Apple Music are a step in the suitable path. It is going to assist make this service the default for any occasion with associates and make it easier to bond with folks by creating lists.
Sooner or later, it would even be doable to react to the songs somebody placed on the record. So you possibly can present that you just love music, that it makes you giggle, or that it is extremely unhappy.
After all, that is solely the beginning of the beta, and plenty of issues may change by the precise launch. However, in the meanwhile, I’m already happy that Apple Music is altering for the higher – particularly now that my Apple One subscription is getting costlier…
