Apple Music stands as a formidable contender. With its expansive library and seamless integration into the iOS ecosystem, it has won the hearts of millions. But are you truly harnessing the full potential of this melodious powerhouse? Here are exclusive tips and tricks that will redefine your Apple Music experience.
- Edit the ‘For You’ Section. The ‘For You’ feature holds the promise of musical discovery. If its recommendations have been missing the mark, fret not. A simple tweak awaits. Within the For You tab, locate your profile icon in the upper right corner and tap. Behold the ‘Find More Artists and Curators’ tab – your gateway to selecting artists and genres tailored to your taste.
- Love and Dislike – Your Music, Your Way. Enhance Apple Music’s understanding of your musical inclinations by employing the ‘Love’ and ‘Dislike’ tags. A mere tap on the three dots icon lets you communicate your preferences. These insights mold the fabric of your future recommendations, creating an auditory haven curated just for you.
- Custom Alarms – Wake Up to Your Soundtrack. Dissatisfied with stock alarm sounds? Elevate your mornings with melodies from Apple Music. Within the Clock app, navigate to alarms, select your desired alarm, and under ‘Sound,’ delve into your Apple Music library to handpick your wake-up anthem. A caveat: the chosen tune must be part of your music collection.
