Apple Music's Upcoming Feature Will Let You Record Yourself Doing Karaoke

Apple will add a karaoke recording feature called Selfie Sing to Apple Music with the release of iOS 27.3, now in beta and expected to be widely available in December. The feature, an upgrade of the Sing karaoke function Apple introduced in 2022, lets users record video of themselves singing along to scrolling lyrics, apply vocal effects such as Megaphone, Echo, Concert Hall and Studio, and save or share the clips. Selfie Sing is limited to a curated playlist rather than the full catalog, with tracks including Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful," Madonna's "Like a Virgin," Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" and Dolly Parton's "9 to 5." The move deepens Apple Music's push into interactive, shareable content as it competes with Spotify and other streaming rivals for engagement. The iOS 27.3 update also bundles additional Siri AI features and a redesigned Health app. Watch whether Apple expands Selfie Sing beyond the launch playlist and how quickly the feature reaches the general iOS release.
