How to turn off Apple Music sing

I would really like to turn off the karaoke “sing” feature. Anyone have advice?


At first it seemed really groundbreaking, now all my favorite classic songs sound different.


I can tell that you (Apple) just acquired instrumentals of all of the songs and are just crossfading a vocal track with YOUR OWN REVERB AND DELAY.


Every Pink Floyd song sounds super dry, every Steely Dan song sounds stale, you’re RUINING CLASSIC SONGS.


please please please give an option in the settings to permanently disable unless this was a choice to alter your entire licensed music catalog. If so I’m switching to Spotify in a heartbeat.

Hi there Milesgraves,


It's expected for the audio to sound a bit different with Apple Music Sing.


If you’re listening to a song playing with Dolby Atmos and you turn on Apple Music Sing, Dolby Atmos turns off and the song plays without surround sound. If you turn off Apple Music Sing, the song plays with Dolby Atmos.


With that said, you can turn it off with these steps:


1. Tap the player to open Now Playing, then tap the Lyrics button.
2. Touch and hold the Apple Music Sing button, then drag the slider up or down to adjust the vocal volume.
3. To turn off Apple Music Sing for the song, tap the slider.

Take care.

If you are listening to a song and the lyrics are opened on your device you can simply close them. You would need to tap on the song that is playing at the bottom of your iPhone/iPad you can then see a speech bubble with quotation marks in it. If you press the speech bubble, the lyrics will either appear or disappear depending on whether they were on or off prior.
