Apple Music in iOS 26 is packed with new features<\/a>, and my favorite of the bunch is pinned music<\/a>. But much to my surprise, I just discovered that music pins have a hidden feature that makes them even better.<\/p>\n Pinned music can use custom \u2018Tap Action\u2019 in iOS 26<\/p>\n Pinned music is a feature I\u2019ve wanted in the Music app for years\u2014and in iOS 26, Apple delivered.<\/p>\n With over 100 million songs available, it\u2019s easy to add new music to my Library and quickly forget about it.<\/p>\n Also, I\u2019ve always wished there was a quicker way to access go-to playlists and albums.<\/p>\n In iOS 26, you can pin up to six items to the top of your Library for convenient access.<\/p>\n While I really wish Apple upped the maximum pin number a bit, I\u2019ve otherwise been very happy with the implementation.<\/p>\n But earlier today, I discovered a hidden feature related to pinned music that makes it even better.<\/p>\n Long-press on a pinned item in iOS 26 and you can set a custom \u2018Tap Action\u2019 for it.<\/p>\n You can choose from three options:<\/p>\n Go to Playlist \/ Album \/ Artist<\/p>\n Play<\/p>\n Shuffle<\/p>\n Basically, you can customize each of your pins to do something a little different when you tap on it.<\/p>\n Want it to play immediately? Set its Tap Action to \u2018Play.\u2019 Prefer to shuffle it? That\u2019s an option too.<\/p>\n By default, all pins are set to the \u2018Go to\u2019 action. But that\u2019s not always what you want.<\/p>\n I love that Apple not only built this level of customization into pins, but it also lets you set a different Tap Action for each unique pin.<\/p>\n Pinned music already sped up the process of getting music started, and the ability to customize the Tap Action makes the feature even better.<\/p>\n Have you been using pinned music in iOS 26, and did you know about the Tap Action?
