Have you recently found yourself singing some song lyrics only to discover that you're unable to remember the actual name of the song they belong to?
As an Apple Music subscriber, you can quickly search the entire Apple Music catalog using just a short lyric phrase, allowing you to find the song in question and add it to your library or your favorite playlist for safekeeping. Here's how it works.
Launch the Music app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap the Search tab.
Enter the lyric phrase you can remember into the search field at the top of the screen.

Apple appears to be rolling out a new logo for Apple Music in its upcoming set of software updates. The logo has been spotted in both macOS 27.2 beta 3 and iOS 27.2 beta 3, and it's identical to the one that Apple used in its Apple Music Hall announcement last month.
