Playing the “Blade Runner” score in Apple Music on iOS 26 and —— OH GOD WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON

@tvaziri Settings > Apps > Music > Turn off “Animated Art”

It’s a sanity saver. They are almost all bad.

@agiletortoise @tvaziri Huzzah for me not upgrading my iPhone 14 Pro to an AI capable model. Doesn’t exist for me. Woot!
@gedeonm @agiletortoise @tvaziri Once again, as with so many of these "features", I'm forced to ask: who exactly did they think would want this?

@gedeonm you don’t have animated album art as an option? I have a 13 mini test device that it works on, and it even shows the new full screen album art on the lock screen that was added in 26.

@agiletortoise @tvaziri

@victor @agiletortoise @tvaziri Oh I see. I didn’t scroll down far enough in Settings. Yep, it’s there. Turned it off now, thanks!
@gedeonm @agiletortoise @tvaziri Yeah, this is definitely not using local AI, these are record label-submitted animations. Blame the rightsholders for making bad animated art, not Apple for giving artists the option of submitting animated art.
@stillmoms @agiletortoise @tvaziri Then oh yeah, I blame them cause this is bad.
