Apple Music benefits from a variety of big and small updates in iOS 26, including one that wasn’t included in the WWDC keynote or press materials: Apple Music Replay is now a fully native in-app experience.

The popular year-end Spotify Wrapped feature has its Apple Music equivalent in Replay.

Except technically, with Apple it’s an experience that’s available all year long .

Historically though, Apple Music Replay has had one major flaw: it was only available via the web, not inside the Music app.

Things improved last year , with Replay being integrated into the Music app itself for the first time—but there was a catch.

You could view Apple Music Replay without leaving the Music app. But ultimately you were still just opening a web view inside the app. It wasn’t built natively into the app.

But in iOS 26 beta 1, that’s changed.

Apple Music Replay is now a fully native experience inside the Music app.

There are no web views in sight.

Instead, you can view all your Replay data for each month—and presumably at year-end, the whole year—in a native interface.

For some users, this change won’t make a huge difference. Not everyone cares whether a web view pops up or not.

But making Replay fully native is absolutely a step in the right direction, creating a more pleasant user experience and giving Apple Music a boost in its ongoing competition with Spotify.
