Apple Music is getting a new karaoke feature that allows users to record themselves singing along to their favorite songs. Selfie Sing first appears in the iOS 27.3 beta.
The function was first discovered by Aaron PerrisThe one early demo on Selfie Sing takes it a step further by adding video recording so users can capture their own performances without leaving the Music app.
Using the feature seems pretty easy. When playing a compatible song on an iPhone running iOS 27.3, a new camera button appears below the voice volume control. Tapping it opens a recording interface that captures videos in portrait orientation, making it particularly useful for sharing clips on social media.
However, there are some limitations. Selfie Sing currently only works on iPhones, although its own playlist appears on other Apple devices. Testing on an iPad Pro running iPadOS 27.3 reportedly revealed no way to access the camera feature. Animoji was also seen in the demonstration, but it only served to hide the tester’s face and was not part of Selfie Sing itself.
Interestingly, the feature also supports the iPhone Duo’s rear camera selfie mode, allowing users to shoot with the phone’s main cameras while also viewing song lyrics on the outer display. This could be particularly useful for anyone who wants better video quality without losing sight of the content.
This isn’t Apple’s first attempt to bring social-friendly video tools to its devices. The company previously offered similar creative features through its now-defunct Clips app, although integrating recording directly into Apple Music could make the experience more convenient.
Currently, Selfie Sing is still a beta feature with no confirmed date for its wider release. It remains to be seen whether it will be a popular addition or simply another karaoke novelty, but it gives Apple Music users another way to enjoy their favorite tracks.
