iOS 18.4 Adds New Ambient Music Feature

In iOS 18.4, there’s a new Ambient Music option that can be added to Control Center. There are four different sound categories, including Sleep, Chill, Productivity, and Wellbeing.

Each category can be added to Control Center separately, and tapping one plays a random selection of sounds or music from that particular category.

You can’t choose what’s playing from Control Center, but if you play a category and then tap into the Dynamic Island at the top or access the Now Playing widget, you can skip songs and see the name of what’s currently playing.

There is no dedicated app for the feature, but Apple has a hidden app that provides more control through skipping songs.

Ambient Music is available on both the iPhone and the iPad in iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4.
