Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

iOS 26.4 introduces new Ambient Music widgets that allow users to instantly start mood-based playlists—such as Chill, Productivity, Sleep, and Wellbeing—directly from the Home Screen, with options for both a single-playlist widget and a larger version displaying all four moods. Users can customize each mood with Apple's built-in playlists or their own, but the feature is limited to Apple Music and does not support third-party services like Spotify.
