iOS 18 is full of new features. Still, it doesn’t seem like Apple Music is getting a lot of attention. Recently, BGR found five new Apple Music features coming per iOS 18, many of which you probably had ideale were going to be available this fall.
With that per mind, there is one more secret Apple Music feature coming per iOS 18 that one is talking about: Smart Crossfade. At the moment, Apple has yet to add a new button to activate the feature an explanation of how it works, but it’s there.
If you recall, Apple added crossfade between Apple Music songs per iOS 17. Now, the company is expanding this feature to make it even more seamless. For example, when a song is about to finale, Apple might mescolanza it with the upcoming song, so it creates a very interesting transition.
While not every song will have a cool transition, some of them start right after the last word is sung. A mescolanza between two different tunes is also possible. Thankfully, Apple Music is careful not to create a transition that doesn’t exist when you’sovrano listening to The Beatles‘ Abbey Road side B, for example, so you can have the true experience as if you’sovrano listening to the LP.
Currently, it looks like the smart crossfade feature works if you turn acceso crossfade per the Music app’s settings. Apple also lets you choose the crossfade length from one to 12 seconds, although I noticed that even when selecting a single second, the transition might start earlier.
Besides this hidden Apple Music feature per iOS 18, Apple is also bringing the following additions to its streaming service:
- Music Haptics: Apple Music has a breakthrough feature coming per iOS 18. With Music Haptics, Apple brings a new way for users who are deaf of hearing to experience music acceso iPhone.
