Here’s how to share song lyrics from Apple Music on iPhone or iPad

Posted on

Apple Music has some beautiful features, including the ability to share lyrics. On Apple, sharing becomes easy, so you don’t need to take screenshots of lyrics when sharing on social networks.

This Apple Music feature was first introduced in iOS and iPadOS 14.5 and only applies to songs whose lyrics have time synchronization with Apple Music. When playing a song, the lyrics of the song stored in text format will not scroll automatically. If the screen does not scroll, it is still the best way to share songs.

STEPS:

  • Open the “Music” app on your iPhone or iPad and play any song. If the song opens in the mini-player, tap it once to expand the window.
  • Tap the lyrics icon in the bottom-left corner.
  • Next, you need to tap and hold any paragraph of the time-synced lyrics on your screen.
  • This will open up the share sheet. The top portion will show you the lyrics you just selected. Apple Music limits sharing to 150 characters of lyrics, and it doesn’t allow you to select multiple parts of the same song. If you like the first and the last line of any song, you can’t share them together.
  • Tap a few lines of the song’s lyrics. Selected parts of lyrics will appear highlighted and unselected parts will remain black-and-white.
  • If you want to undo a selection, tap the line again.
  • Alternatively, you can scroll up or down to a different part of the lyrics and select that. A pop-up message will appear that asks if you want to replace the current selection of lyrics. Hit “Replace.”
  • When you’re done selecting lyrics, choose one of your contacts from the Share sheet or choose the Messages app to share the lyrics.
  • Once sent, your contact will see a play icon, which they can use to play the song.
  • You can also share lyrics quickly to Instagram by selecting the Instagram app from the Share Sheet.
  • This will create an Instagram story that you can share with your followers. You don’t need to give Instagram access to your microphone or camera to post Apple Music lyrics to your stories.
  • Your followers can select the “Play on Apple Music” link found at the top of your Instagram Story to play the song on the streaming service.
  • They’ll have to tap “Open Apple Music” from the pop-up message to start playing the song.
