# Pinned Music: A Crucial New Feature in iOS 26 for Apple Music
iOS 26 is a comprehensive update for iPhone users, with one standout feature being the new addition to Apple Music: pinned music.
## Pinned Music in Apple Music
Apple Music in iOS 26 unveils a new Liquid Glass design that improves the visual appeal of the platform. Nevertheless, the most thrilling update is the capability to pin albums, playlists, and artists for easy access.
Users can quickly pin their preferred music by long-pressing on the selected item and choosing the ‘Pin Playlist,’ ‘Pin Album,’ or ‘Pin Artist’ options. Once pinned, these items will be displayed at the top of the Library tab in the Music app.
Currently, in the iOS 26 beta 1, users can pin a maximum of six items at once, although this limit may change prior to the public release later this fall. The pinned items can include a variety, such as one artist, several playlists, and a few albums.
## Reasons to Be Excited for Pinned Music
While iOS 26 is still in its initial beta phase, the launch of pinned music is a beneficial addition. Here are two main reasons to anticipate this feature:
1. **Simplified Access to Favorite Music**: Pinned music enables users to reach their favorite tracks more effortlessly than before.
2. **Prompt for Music to Discover**: In the current streaming age, certain artists, albums, or playlists can easily be overlooked. The pinning feature acts as a prompt, assisting users in remembering music they wish to listen to each time they access the Music app.
With this new capability, users can elevate their music experience by keeping their favorite tracks easily accessible and rediscovering music they may have missed.
As iOS 26 continues to evolve, the pinned music feature is set to become an essential asset for Apple Music users.
