Ho w to Browse and interact with Music
Browse your library
Your library has moved from the right-most position in the bottom bar to the leftmost. On iPad, there’s no longer a separate Playlists icon in the bar; they’re available through the pop-up, top left of the Library page.
Customize
Tap Library, then tap Edit to choose which categories are shown or hidden. Here you’ll find the Compilations, (Music) Videos and Genres options to add, and you can remove any from the Library page.
Quick access
To change the order in which categories are listed, drag from the handles to the right of them. Next, tap Done, then swipe upwards to see new additions to your library. These support the 3D Touch/long press gesture.
Recommendations
Tap “For You” for hints on music you might like, based on your listening habits and things you’ve rated. Swipe on rows to see additional items, then apply 3D Touch or a long press to a suggestion to react to it.
Connect with artists
Scroll past the suggestions on the For You page to find posts from artists. Tap the account icon (top right) to review suggested artists, or apply 3D Touch/long press to an artist name in the Search results to follow them.
Internet radio
Tap Radio to listen to Beats 1 or a themed station. Personalized stations you’ve previously created, by applying 3D Touch/a long press to an item you chose as an indicator of your mood, can be found by scrolling down.
Search for music
Tap Search and you’ll see your recent searches and what other people have looked for, saving you typing the same things. Otherwise, tap the box, specify whether to look in your library or Apple’s collection, then type.
Interact with results
Search results respond to 3D Touch or a long press too, giving an option to download an item if it’s already in your library, or to add it and then download it. Use this to stock up on tracks before you go offline.
Browse local music
The Library tab includes a view that shows solely music downloaded for offline playback. A reminder that you’re not seeing your whole library appears at the top. Tap Library in the bottom bar to see everything again.
