2. Update your device to the latest version.

Despite having a device that supports Apple Music Sing, the karaoke function may still not be displayed to you. I wonder why? Make sure you update your devices to the latest version of the following OS.

  • iPhone: Updated to iOS 16.2 or later. To check Settings → General → About.
  • iPad: Update to iPadOS 16.2 or later. Select “Settings”→ “General”→ “About”.
  • Apple TV: Update to tvOS 16.2 or later. Check “Settings”→ “General”→ “About”.

Even after updating your device, if you can’t get this feature, you can also try updating your device to the latest public beta for iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS to see if you can get Apple Music Sing to work on your device.

3. Check if the song supports Apple Music Sing.

Apple Music Sing only includes a limited number of playlists. Perhaps your favorite song is not included in the list. Follow the instructions we mentioned in our guide to using the Apple Music Sing karaoke feature.

If you don’t see the karaoke icon, that means the particular song hasn’t received Apple Music Sing support yet.

4. Disable Low Power Mode

If you have enabled low power mode, Apple Music Sing may not work on your device. So let’s turn it off:

  1. Open settings.
  2. Tap Battery.
  3. Turn off low power mode.

5. Uninstall and reinstall Apple Music.

Since this feature is still new, chances are some bugs are causing problems. So uninstall the app, reinstall it and see if you can access this feature now.

6. Restart your device

You may be surprised how much this helps; Restarting your device is one of the best tips to fix the Apple Music Sing karaoke feature. We already have a detailed guide on how to reset iPhone or iPad.

As for Apple TV, the steps are as follows:

To do this, make sure Sync Library is enabled and that all devices are signed in with the same Apple ID associated with your Apple Music account.
