How To Unveil Song Lyrics In iOS Apple Music App

iOS 10 came with a full revamp of the built-in Music app. Along the obvious changes and improvements there are still a few new additions that could pass unnoticed. A great feature that was introduced with this major update is the ability to provide the lyrics of the played songs. This allows you to sing along and greatly enhances the Music app’s entertainment potential.

Until now you could add lyrics to your iOS device only manually, via iTunes. But the huge Apple Music database allows your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to share the wordings for almost all of the 30 millions songs available for playback. There are two ways to check the lyrics. Depending on your needs, you can swipe for this feature and preview the rhymes at the bottom of the screen, or tap for full-screen mode and get the bigger picture. Read on and see how you can turn your iPhone into a karaoke machine!
