Apple Music Sing not working

I have a fully updated iPhone 12 (16.3.1) and I am a new subscriber to Apple Music. Try as I may I cannot get any song to play in Apple Sing mode. I can get the lyrics but I do not have the mic controller. I have reinstalled Apple Music and rebooted my phone multiple times. I really want to try this service as it will help me decide if I will keep subscribing to Apple Music.

Hi sd_andrews,


You can try the steps here to enable Apple Music Sing:

Sing along with Apple Music on iPhone


Please take note of the following:

In the Music app , with iOS 16.2 and an Apple Music subscription, you can use Apple Music Sing to view real-time, beat-by-beat lyrics for select songs, as well as adjust the volume of a song’s vocals—allowing you to sing along with the music while viewing the lyrics as they’re highlighted.


Since this only works for select songs, try testing with a curated selection, such as the Sing-Along Essentials playlist:

Sing-Along Essentials


Let us know if that gets this working for you.
