9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- iOS 26.4 introduces new Ambient Music widgets for the iPhone Home Screen, enabling one-tap playback of mood-based playlists.
- There are two widget sizes: a smaller widget that plays one customizable mood playlist, and a larger widget offering access to four mood playlists—Chill, Productivity, Sleep, and Wellbeing.
- Users can select from Apple’s built-in playlists or customize the widgets with their own playlists for each mood via the widget’s edit option.
- These widgets expand on the Ambient Music feature introduced in Control Center last year and are currently exclusive to Apple Music subscribers, not supporting other services like Spotify.
- Apple Music is available for $10.99/month or through the Apple One subscription bundle.
