iOS 27.2 adds new app icon for Apple Music and more design updates

iOS 27.2 beta 4 debuted today for developers, and the update includes a new app icon for Apple Music as well as other design updates in the Music app.

Refreshed Music app icon, tab bar updates, and Library tweaks arrive in iOS 27.2

Apple appears in the midst of a gradual refresh of the Apple Music brand.

The company recently launched a brand new Apple Music logo that has started to spread to more places, including an appearance in iOS 27.2 beta 3 last week.

And now with beta 4, iOS 27.2 also has a new app icon for music.

As seen above, the new app icon removes the brand color. It’s a white icon with a black music logo by default, and in dark mode it’s black with a white logo.

Along with this change, the Music app in iOS 27.2 now uses blue in the tab bar for the currently active tab, a stark change from the previous red/pink branding. Similarly, widgets for the Music app now use simple black backgrounds instead of the iconic red/pink.

Additionally, in your library, the list color of different sections such as playlists, albums, artists and songs has been removed in favor of a black and white design.

Apple Music is available for $11.99/monthor you can get it as part of the Apple One bundle.
