Apple Music is set to receive a major design overhaul, according to two new reports. The music streaming service from Apple will add a number of new features and improvements in June.
A report from Bloomberg stated that Apple will make “sweeping changes” to Apple Music. The company will apparently focus on making the streaming service’s UI more intuitive, as well as improve integration and download services. Moreover, Apple is also said to expand its online radio service.
Following this report, 9to5Mac posted further insights on what kind of features the service will get in the upcoming revamp. As per the report, Apple Music will adorn a black and white UI instead of the vibrant colorful one which pops up to match the album art of the album you are viewing. The album art will also get bigger possibly similar to Google Play Music. As per the report, the overall look of the app will be “bolder yet simpler.” Moreover, the fonts on menus and tabs will also get bigger.
Next up, the service will soon get lyrics integration as Apple is currently working with music publishers to get the rights to automatically display lyrics in the music app. In addition, Apple is said chuck the “New” tab in the app and offer a simplified version of the “For You” recommendation tab.
Apple Music still trails Spotify in the streaming space, with 11 million paying customers compared to Spotify’s 30 million. Apple is expected to announce these major changes at the upcoming WWDC in June.
