iOS 26 Offers Full-Screen Animated Album Art on iPhone's Lock Screen

iOS 26 brings animated album art to the iPhone Lock Screen for select Apple Music songs. Tapping the album art in the music player expands it into a full-screen, animated view, enhancing the listening experience. This feature was previously available only within the Apple Music app and adds a dynamic visual element. Currently in developer beta, iOS 26 will roll out later this year for iPhone 11 and newer devices, complementing the Liquid Glass design.
