If you often find yourself adding a track to an Apple Music playlist, going back, and then adding it to other playlists, iOS 26.4 includes an option that could save you bags of time: You can now select multiple playlists when adding a song.<\/p>\n

Previously, tapping Add to Playlist would take you to a list of your playlists, and you could only pick one at a time. In iOS 26.4, there’s a new multi-select option that lets you check off as many playlists as you like in one go. Here’s how it works.<\/p>\n
In the Music app, find the song you want to add.
\nLong press the song, or tap the three-dot menu (…) next to it.
\nTap Add to Playlist.![\"music\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ios-music-add-song-multiple-playlists2.jpeg\")
In the bottom-right corner, tap the new multi-select button.
\nSelect all the playlists you want to add the song to \u2013 each one gets a red checkmark.
\nTap the checkmark button in the top-right corner to confirm.![\"music\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ios-music-add-song-multiple-playlists1.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
The header at the top of the screen will update to reflect how many playlists you’ve selected, so you can keep track before confirming.<\/p>\n
It might seem like a minor addition, but if you maintain several playlists organized by mood, genre, or occasion, it eliminates so much back-and-forth navigation. It’s no exaggeration to say that some users will have been waiting years for this option.<\/p>\n
In iOS 26.4, Apple has also given albums and playlists a new fullscreen design so that the album artwork colors style the entire background of the track list and other UI elements to give each album a more immersive, authentic look. To check out what’s new, make sure your iPhone is up-to-date with the latest version by going to Settings \u279d General \u279d Software Update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you often find yourself adding a track to an Apple Music playlist, going back, and then adding…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":511356,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[16522,87,7083,2306,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-511355","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple-music","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-ios-26","11":"tag-mobile","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511355\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
