What's New in Playback Music
1.1
July 8, 2026
Magic Mix reorders any of your playlists into an optimal arrangement, and Playback now understands the songs you've imported yourself, not just the ones from Apple Music. New • Magic Mix — press and hold one of your own playlists to resequence it along Playback's similarity walk, so each track eases into the next. Preview the new order, then play it or save it. • Improved reliability for imported and local songs. Playback infers their genre and energy from the artist's catalogue and reads BPM straight from the file, so tracks you've added yourself surface in Songs and Design like everything else. Improved • Design mode now respects the songs, artists and albums you've hidden. • Siri and Control Center steer away from the same tracks the app does. • Imported album tracks stay together as the walk moves through them. Fixed • Improved reliability for offline mode. • The save dialog no longer offers a stale name. • Fixed an overlapping banner and a mislabelled top artist. • Various UI fixes.
