### Enhancements to Apple Music Sing: Turning Your Apple TV into a Karaoke Haven
For those who have been reveling in Apple Music Sing on their Apple TV, there’s thrilling news coming soon. Apple has recently revealed an update that will enable users to use their iPhones as wireless microphones, with their voices resonating through the Apple TV’s speakers. This upgrade is set to enhance the karaoke experience significantly.
#### Let It All Out
Last year, Apple launched Apple Music Sing, a feature that allows users to diminish the vocal track on most tracks available on Apple Music, enabling them to be in the spotlight and display their vocal abilities. With the forthcoming rollout of tvOS 26, this feature is about to become even more engaging. Users will have the ability to convert their Apple TV into a fully operational karaoke system, welcoming numerous singers who can participate using their own iPhones.
The new features will encompass the capability to sing along, organize songs in a queue, and express emoji reactions that will show up on-screen during performances, creating a vibrant and captivating karaoke experience.
#### Major Lyrics Initiative for Apple Music
Besides the karaoke functionalities, tvOS 26 will unveil new instruments for lyrics translation and pronunciation, enriching the overall user experience. As per Apple, the Lyrics Translation function will cater to select songs in several languages, including:
– English to Chinese (simplified)
– English to Japanese
– Korean to Chinese (simplified)
– Korean to English
– Korean to Japanese
– Spanish to English
The Lyrics Pronunciation tool will aid users with select songs in various scripts, comprising:
– Cantonese to Jyutping
– Chinese (simplified) to Pinyin
– Hindi to Romanized Hindi
– Japanese to Romanized Japanese
– Korean to Katakana
– Punjabi to Romanized Punjabi
These features aspire to make singing along to songs in different languages more manageable and enjoyable.
#### Design and Usability Advances
In addition to the new karaoke capabilities and lyrics instruments, tvOS 26 will feature Apple’s new Liquid Glass design, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the interface. Users can also anticipate improvements in user experience, such as simplified profile switching and a more efficient sign-in process for tvOS applications.
The developer beta for tvOS 26 is now available, with a public beta anticipated to be released next month. This update is set to significantly boost the Apple TV experience, particularly for music aficionados and karaoke fans.
