Apple Music and iTunes, as expected, are getting overhauled.
The changes, announced at Apple's WWDC event on Monday, are aimed at making both platforms less confusing and more user-friendly in response to frequent criticisms from users.
Here's are the big changes you can expect.
Apple Music
- - The app's redesign has big, bold, black text, white backgrounds, and larger album art.
- - The music library is redesigned for easier navigation.
- - A "recently added" section will show new music.
- - A new section called "Downloaded music" will hold all music purchased by users.
- - Lyrics will show up while songs are playing.
- - The "new" tab will be dropped and replaced with a "Browse" tab designed to make it easier to find new music.
- - The "For You" tab has a discovery mix to help you find new music, daily curated playlists tailored to you, and recently played songs.
- - The widely-panned "Connect" functionality has been added under "For You."
- - New 3D Touch functionality will make it easier to preview tracks and share music on social media.
