During the WWDC 2023 keynote, Apple announced Apple Music would get a handful of features with iOS 17. One of them, the ability to collaborate on other people’s playlists, was the function that got me excited the most.
While Cupertino said it would come at a later date, with the release of the first beta of iOS 17.2, Apple is now previewing what could become one of the best functions available on Apple Music to date.
I really miss the lack of social features on the music streaming service. With Spotify, I can see what my friends are listening to; we can create AI playlists that match our tastes, discover new songs, and more. But with Apple’s streaming service, it doesn’t work like this.
Although it still lacks a bit of intelligence, as a Taylor Swift-only playlist will have other artists’ suggestions, it’s nice that Apple is using the songs you like to help you improve your lists. In addition, favoriting songs, artists, and albums is a new feature of iOS 17.1. And with iOS 17.2, Apple even created a playlist of user’s Favorite songs – similar to how you add songs to your Library on Spotify.
