The lyrics feature in Apple Music is great for singing along to, but it also has a hidden feature for sharing your favourite lyrics with your friends.
First, we need to open lyric mode by tapping this icon from the Now Playing screen. At this point, we’re going to scroll to our favourite part of the song, or perhaps just the lyrics that you want to share, and then long-press one of those lines of text.
A brand-new share sheet will appear, and the lyrics are highlighted in the same colours as the album artwork, which is a nice touch.
What’s cool here is that you can tap to select multiple lines, even scrolling forwards and backwards if you need to by swiping up and down.
When you’re done, you can simply share it however you like, and your friends will get the lyrics along with the ability to tap on the song immediately in Apple Music. It creates a really lovely visual card if you send it via iMessage.
