Apple Music is testing a karaoke mode that films you while you sing. Selfie Sing is in the iOS 27.3 beta: lyrics on screen, a short stack of mic effects, then save or share the clip.

## What happened

[MacRumors](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/11/03/apple-music-selfie-sing/?ref=blog.harshkohli.com) found the feature while checking 27.3\. Apple's playlist copy lays out the loop: pick a track from the Selfie Sing playlist, shoot a selfie with scrolling lyrics, tweak your vocals, and send the video wherever you want. Effects named so far are Megaphone, Echo, Concert Hall and Studio, plus a post-take louder/quieter dial. [Aaron (@aaronp613) posted the first demo on X](https://x.com/aaronp613/status/2117770020671410193?ref=blog.harshkohli.com) (Animoji stand-in included); [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/tech/1026234/apple-music-is-getting-a-selfie-focused-karaoke-mode?ref=blog.harshkohli.com) and [Engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2306269/apple-music-selfie-sing-karaoke-video/?ref=blog.harshkohli.com) followed the same day.

In practice you open a supported song, tap the camera icon, hit record, and sing while the words scroll. When the track ends you pick an effect and dump the file to Photos or a share sheet. The playlist already stacks shout-alongs: Aretha Franklin's "Respect," Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," Madonna's "Like a Virgin," Oasis's "Wonderwall," Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf," Britney Spears's "…Baby One More Time."

Two beta catches. The playlist itself can appear on iOS 27.2, but the front-camera control only lights up on the **iOS 27.3 beta**. And Selfie Sing is not wired to the whole catalog — stay on the playlist or the camera button may never show. Think of it as Apple Music Sing (lyric karaoke from iOS 16.2) with a selfie lens bolted on.

## Why it matters

Apple keeps pushing Music past "press play and pocket the phone." Sing already nudged Spotify's karaoke experiments; Selfie Sing is the cut aimed at Stories and group chats. Whether that is fun or regrettable depends on who you share with, but the product intent is clear: Music moments that leave the device. If you hopped between Apple apps after [Music 7's Android redesign](https://blog.harshkohli.com/apple-music-android-7-redesign/), this is another week the Music team has not sat still.

## What to do

- Public iOS: wait for the finished 27.3 (or whichever release ships Selfie Sing) before hunting for the camera button.
- On the 27.3 beta: update Apple Music, search **Selfie Sing**, open a track, tap the camera, record, then try the mic effects before you share.
- No camera icon? That song is probably not enabled — use the playlist.
- Android Apple Music: no Selfie Sing. iPhone-only for now.
