Apple Music has introduced new features in its beta version 5.2, following the recent iOS 26.4 preview. One of the notable additions is the Playlist Playground, which utilizes generative AI to quickly create playlists based on user prompts. This feature is accessible from the Library tab, allowing users to either generate playlists with AI or manually create them.
Additionally, there has been a redesign of albums and playlists, featuring full-page artwork that enhances the visual experience. The layout changes include a centered Play button and a new circular design for Shuffle, improving usability for one-handed operation. Users will also notice an “Upcoming Concerts” badge on artist pages, providing easy access to concert information.
Currently in beta, Apple Music 5.2 will have its stable version released alongside iOS 26.4. In related news, Apple TV for Android has added a “Formula 1” tab to its interface, complementing existing sports offerings.
