iOS 18.4: Ambient Music
In Apple’s iOS 18.4 software update, there’s a new Ambient Music feature available in the Control Center options on iPhone. It’s free to use, and does not require an Apple Music subscription. It’s also more customizable than most users probably realize.
This is accessed via Control Center and seems to be iOS-only, unlike the similar Background Sounds feature that still exists for iOS and Mac under Accessibility.

I noticed this in the release notes and set it up on both my phone and iPad. The music’s nice.
However, when I went to turn one of them on after reading this post last night, it just failed to start. I have no idea why.
