What Happened to Apple Music Connect?
When Apple Music premiered, it included a social feature called Connect, which let fans and their favorite bands interact. To do this, users could create a customizable profile like a Twitter or Instagram account so that their friends could find them, and people could see who they were talking to. Apple removed Connect from Apple Music at the end of 2018, but it still contains a social element that you can use to check out what your friends are listening to and find more tunes for your own library.
