Mar. 31, 2020

As a music lover, I like to keep a tab on the latest albums, EPS, and videos from my favorite artists. Though Apple Music already had the feature to alert users about the latest arrivals, it wasn’t always spot-on. Many a time, it wouldsend out alertsabout new albums days or even weeks after their rollout. Thankfully, those days are gone for good! Courtesy the latest update, users can now enable Apple Music in-app notifications for new releases on iPhone and iPad. If keeping a track of the all-new albums also tickles your fancy, follow along to turn on this nifty but quite handy feature!
