Hi everyone,
We’re currently developing a music-based app using MusicKit, and we recently noticed that iOS 26 beta introduces a new “Automix” feature in the Apple Music app. This enables seamless DJ-style transitions between songs—beyond the standard crossfade functionality.
We’re trying to understand:
Will this Automix feature be accessible to third-party apps that use MusicKit?
If not available in the initial iOS 26 release, is there a plan to expose it through public APIs in a future update?
Is there any technical documentation, WWDC session, or roadmap info regarding Automix support via MusicKit?
This functionality would be a significant enhancement for our app, especially for intelligent audio transitions and curated playlists.
Thanks.
