Apple has unveiled an exciting new feature in its iOS 18.2 update: natural language search for Apple Music and the Apple TV app. This update allows users to find content more easily by simply describing what they’re looking for without needing to know exact names of songs, movies, or TV shows.
With this update, users can search using everyday language like “nostalgic hits from the 90s” or “songs similar to Espresso,” making the search experience more intuitive. The new feature also integrates seamlessly with Siri, allowing you to ask, “Play songs with epic guitar solos,” to get the music you want without the hassle.
This new search functionality expands on a previous update in iOS 18.1, which introduced natural language search to the Photos app. It’s important to note that this feature currently supports English only, but it is expected to enhance the user experience across multiple apps.
Why This Feature Matters for iPhone and iPad Users?
The introduction of natural language search reflects Apple’s ongoing push to incorporate artificial intelligence into its ecosystem, particularly with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPads with the M1 chip or later, which are the devices required to support this technology. With iOS 18.2, users can enjoy a more intuitive way to interact with their favorite Apple apps, simplifying the process of discovering new music and shows.
iOS 18.2 is expected to roll out publicly in the coming days, bringing with it several improvements that enhance the usability and power of Apple’s ecosystem. The natural language search feature is a key addition for users who want faster and easier access to content across Apple Music and Apple TV.
