But I\u2019m happy that it\u2019s making its way to the iPhone maker\u2019s app.<\/p>\n In addition to this, Apple is also adding popover menus for songs. Until now, if you long pressed on a song, a contextual menu used to appear like the image below.<\/p>\n With the new update, the menu would just appear as a popover so it doesn\u2019t take over the whole screen. Plus, as the screenshot for the new update suggests, you would just need to tap on the three-dot menu instead of performing a long press. That\u2019s much faster to add the song to the library or get a link to share it.<\/p>\n These features are handy for using Apple Music daily and making it easy to manage your library and playing queue. I can\u2019t wait for this update.<\/p>\n Did you know we have a newsletter all about consumer tech?
