"Apple Music Introduces Monthly Replay for Detailed Listening Stats"

Apple Music has introduced a monthly version of its Replay feature, allowing subscribers to view their listening statistics on a more regular basis, including total listening minutes, top artists, songs, and albums for the previous month.

Additionally, Apple is preparing to release iOS 17.4 in March, which will include major App Store changes in the EU, Apple Podcasts transcripts, new emoji, and preparations for next-generation CarPlay.
