With iOS 18.4 Apple has added a new way to quickly play Apple Music playlists. Users now have the option to add their custom playlist to their Control Center, Action button, and most importantly the Lock Screen. <\/p>\n

The feature is called Ambient Music, and is available under the Ambient Music section of the Controls page (the page that lists all of the controls for the Control Center and Lock Screen). <\/p>\n

By default, Apple offers four Ambient Music playlists including Sleep, Chill, Productivity, and Wellbeing. You can also select your own playlists by following the steps below.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> Ambient Music feature is available in iOS 18.4 or later. Apple has not released iOS 18.4 to the public yet, so the feature is only available in iOS 18.4 beta for now.<\/p>\n
