The Daily card stamps your result on the cover once you have played, the way the reveal does. Tap a time chip you have already earned to hear that snippet again. Replays cost nothing. In the Daily encore, a tap on the stage puts the keyboard away so the play button is back in reach, and the whole Give Up button now takes the tap. New pack: 2020s Hits.

Your rewards cabinet now keeps every month you finish. Each kept month gets its own card on the Souvenirs shelf, ready to share. The Daily encore now gives you unlimited guesses. A wrong guess costs nothing. Only asking to hear more moves you to the next rung.

Your 2026 recap arrives in December: the songs you named, your fastest solves, and a poster to share. Song suggestions appear faster as you type, and long lists no longer stall. The encore plays on a new gold stage. The Daily card keeps your record, and the cover art grows once you have played. The encore's pass button stays above the keyboard, and Siri starts the app without waiting.

Ask Siri to play One Second Song, or start a game from Spotlight and Shortcuts. Two new packs: Hip-Hop and Party Anthems. The home logo dresses up for the holidays, starting with Halloween. The daily reveal no longer shifts when the scorecard arrives, and it uses the extra room on taller phones.

Scrolling through song suggestions no longer selects a song by mistake. Suggestions now stay clear of the listening controls and move smoothly when the keyboard opens. Plus small interaction and stability improvements.

The screen that shows you the answer is rebuilt around the album cover. It's about twice the size it was, with your result stamped across the bottom of it. Casual games now open with a one-second snippet, the same as every other difficulty. Pasting a playlist link now tells you up front that the playlist has to be public, instead of failing after you paste it. Plus fixes to start-up and settings loading.

When a playlist link does not work, the app now tells you what went wrong. A single video, a Mix, a link to your own library, a Deezer link: each one says what it is and what to paste instead. Also in this update: • A private playlist opens in Spotify or YouTube so you can switch it to public. Come back to the game and it tries again on its own, with no second paste • Add songs to a playlist that was too short, paste it again, and the game reads your new songs instead of repeating the old count • End game now takes you back to pack selection, so the next pack is one tap away

Paste a YouTube playlist and play it. Copy the link to any public playlist on YouTube or YouTube Music, paste it into New Game, and those songs become your pack. Also in this update: • Pasted Spotify links work more often, and a private playlist now says it is private and how to share it • After a game, Take these songs home opens each song in Apple Music or Spotify so you can save it there • Fixed: the paste sheet no longer drifts after the keyboard opens

Play your own playlist. Copy the link to any playlist on Apple Music or Spotify, paste it into New Game, and those songs become your pack. Artist, album, and song links work too. Also in this update: • New Game has a Your Playlist tile that walks you through it: share the playlist, copy the link, paste it in • The Daily reveal is tighter. Your time and your place come first, and the song takes half the room it used to • Every trophy on a player card now says what it is for • Fixed: left open overnight, the Home screen did not roll over to the new day at midnight

Easy is easier and Hard is harder. Song picking now leans on the biggest hits for Easy and the deep cuts for Hard, and songs repeat far less often from game to game. Also in this update: • The encore gets a two-second last chance as a third try • The 2010s pack grew to 190+ songs, with the hits it was missing • One artist, one seat: a duet or featured credit no longer lets the same act take two songs in a game • Settled challenge cards read like open ones, with the winner on the line below • Today's board shows misses and hints next to each encore result • Pack names drop the "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" padding, and long chip names fit • Fixed: an encore finished after midnight didn't count for the right day

The New Game screen now starts with a search box. Type any artist, playlist, or album and results appear as you type. Your recent picks stay one tap away. Also in this update: • Search for a style, decade, or country and playlists come first. Anything without enough playable songs stays out of the results. • More albums and soundtracks can start a game. • Open challenges: a finished challenge shows who won, The House always has one open, and leaving a match mid-run counts as a forfeit. • Leave the Daily, an encore, or a match and it pauses where you were. No restarting for a better time. • New celebrations: a sunburst when you solve the Daily, and a Triple Strike for a half-second encore. • The hint button lights up once and then rests. How to play now lives in your profile.

The Home screen got a redesign. The Song of the Day Challenge now leads, showing your time, your streak, and where you placed against today's field. Also in this update: • Play the Daily every day to earn In Residence, a mark next to your name on the board • Today's board is easier to scan, and encore runs get their own callout • Text is bigger throughout, and the app now follows your system text size • Open challenges show live standings, and a waiting match starts with one tap • Games hold up better on a weak connection, and an interrupted game picks up where it left off • Fixed: the Daily could show the wrong day on phones set to a non-Gregorian calendar
