Starting in iOS 27.3, Apple Music users will be able to capture videos of themselves singing songs along to lyrics thanks to a new Selfie Sing feature. The karaoke-like option expands Apple Music's feature set, building on the existing Apple Music Sing mode which lets users turn down vocals. Selfie Sing exists in the iOS 27.3 beta and was first shared by code sleuth Aaron Perris.
While demo videos showed an Animoji, that is not a feature of Selfie Sing. The feature is currently iPhone-only, though the Selfie Sing playlist will appear for all users. An iPad Pro running iPadOS 27.3 does not offer camera access.
When a compatible song plays, a new camera toggle appears under the vocal audio control, allowing vertical video recording. Users can also utilize the iPhone Duo's rear-camera-as-selfie mode. Apple has previously implemented similar social features via the Clips app, but integrating it into Music could prove popular with social media users.
However, like "slofies," this feature may fade into the background. It remains a cute, if limited, karaoke feature feeling more tailored for the pandemic era.
