Well you tend to get snark when Apple works on complete frivolous features like this while releasing a bug ridden mess like iOS16.
I’ve had zero problems with iOS 16. And personally I prefer an update that includes some fun and interesting features. But there are always people negative on here who live in a sad world. Takes all kinds I guess.
 
This is really cool and I'd like to use it just to hear the instrumental version of songs. Unfortunately, I will not use this because I switched to Spotify a while ago.
 
Based on Dans demo, it appears that it just works with Live Lyrics which makes sense. It’s great to see such a fun thing added instead of changing the weight of a font. Hopefully 16.2 will be out soon for public release. But to be fair, I’ll sing over the top of Mariah Carey's Christmas special 😂

I don't do lyrics much but it seems like word-by-word highlighting is new for this also? I've only ever seen line by line.

Why is this feature being made such a big deal? You would think with the coverage of this feature that it was some ground breaking iOS feature. It's a feature that you can literally get from an app at any time. I think we've heard all we need to hear about this one moving forward.
Its unexpected, integrated and completely free. And very fun. Why the hate?
 
You guys seriously underestimate how popular karaoke still is in Asian countries. And it should be popular again in the West too imo, singing with friends is fun.
 
Strangely I can’t get it to work with any of my songs that are in playlists?? But if I search for the same song outside of a playlist it works… please don’t tell me I’d have to re-add every song to my library to get Sing compatibility???!?

Every tried removing downloads and redownloading, changed the audio quality of the downloads… nothin.
 
Great new feature for Music, iPhone karaoke. Maybe another feature for lyrics in Music could be translation.
 
It is pretty terrible, tbh. Just tried it out. It's very glitchy and it doesn't even use the microphone so you can't hear yourself sing, it just terribly muffles the vocals. not what I expected.
 
The amount of snark when apple does something fun amazes me. If you don't like it or think it is stupid don't use it. smh...
100%

Apple has enough resources to develop multiple things in tandem, heaven forbid them from implementing something left field.

That attitude is heavily influenced by social media and talk shows. It is trying to find fault in anything and everything, and it is a miserable attitude.

What’s even more sad is when group think comes into play, especially on forums such as this, and people end up reacting based on how others are reacting. Or if a public figure responds a certain way, they influence others to have that same response.
