Apple Music Replay 2022 is here

Apple Music isn’t the only music streaming service to provide these general, highly personal roundups of the most popular music throughout the year.

According to an announcement in Apple Newsroom, this year’s Replay interface has been redesigned to be not only prettier but also more useful, providing a deeper dive into your music listening habits than ever before.

In addition to listing your most popular artists, songs, music videos, and playlists for 2022, this year’s Apple Music Replay includes two new features. The first one will highlight any artists you may have unlocked before they exploded. The other defines your musical atmosphere and personality.

Privacy is maintained because Apple states that it will never share your ideas or use them in any marketing materials. “The user can share their thoughts as they wish, if they want,” Apple assures us. “No other Apple Music subscribers or employees can access their information outside of their chosen snaps at any time.”

How to get Apple Music Replay 2022
