Apple Music is turning its karaoke feature into something subscribers can share on social media, with a new Selfie Sing mode arriving in iOS 27.3.
The feature lets users record themselves singing along to their favorite songs using the iPhone’s front-facing camera, complete with synchronized lyrics, and share the resulting videos on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.
Selfie Sing is already available to beta testers in iOS 27.3, with a wider release expected in December.
Apple Music Selfie Sing Turns Karaoke Into Shareable Videos
Apple Music Sing already allows subscribers to sing along to songs with real-time lyrics and adjustable vocal levels.
Selfie Sing takes that experience further by adding video recording directly inside the Music app.
Instead of simply following lyrics while listening, users can capture their performances and share them with friends or post them online.
The feature was discovered in the first iOS 27.3 developer beta and can currently be accessed through a dedicated Selfie Sing playlist in Apple Music.
Once activated, the mode uses the iPhone’s front camera to record while synchronized lyrics appear on screen.
For subscribers who already enjoy Apple Music Sing, the addition removes the need to switch to a separate karaoke app to record a performance.
It also gives Apple Music a more direct connection to social platforms where singing challenges, covers, and karaoke clips are already popular.
Selfie Sing is included with Apple Music’s existing subscription, which costs $11.99 per month for an individual plan in the United States.
Apple Music Lyrics Are Also Getting a New Look
Alongside Selfie Sing, Apple is updating how lyrics appear when an iPhone is held horizontally.
With iOS 27.3, animated album artwork can extend across the landscape lyrics screen, creating a more immersive background behind the scrolling words.
Previously, this visual treatment was limited to the iPhone Duo.
The expanded artwork makes better use of the available screen space, particularly when users rotate their phones to follow lyrics during playback.
Unlike Selfie Sing, this update is primarily visual. It doesn’t change how lyrics work, but makes the existing experience more engaging.
Both additions are currently being tested in iOS 27.3, with the public release expected in December. As with other beta features, their availability could change before the final update arrives.
