Apple Music Sing in tvOS 26 now supports singing into your iPhone karaoke style, plus there’s a classic visualizer effect. Here’s how it all works.
When Apple revealed the updated Apple Music Sing mode during the WWDC 2025 keynote, it seemed like a fairly straightforward feature update. However, after testing out the feature firsthand, it seems there’s a lot more to it than just a mic feature.
After updating to tvOS 26, you should immediately notice a new app icon added to the Home Screen. It’s an icon called “Sing”, but all it does is launch Apple Music to the new Sing tab.
Thankfully, you can turn off the separate icon via Settings.

Now that it’s set up, let’s dive into the new features.
