New fullscreen design debuts in Apple Music with iOS 26.4, plus concert info

Apple Music has several changes coming in iOS 26.4, starting with a new fullscreen design for albums and playlists.

When viewing an album or playlist in the updated Music app, you’ll notice that the track list adopts a background color that complements the artwork.

It’s not always an exact color match, but rather a color that pairs well with and evokes the artwork for that album or playlist.

Additionally, Apple says that users will be able to now discover concerts right inside the Music app.

There’s also a redesigned Profile screen inside the Music app that’s available across other system apps too, such as Podcasts and TV. It includes shortcuts related to your Apple Account, such as the ability to add funds to your account or redeem an Apple gift card or app code.

Apple Music is available for $10.99/month for individuals, or you can get it as part of the Apple One bundle.
