Music star ratings are back with the iOS 10.2 update delivered today from Apple. Under Settings app > Music click on "Show Star Ratings." These ratings do not affect Apple's “For You” recommendations.

Also new for music today:

 

  • Swipe up the Now Playing screen to more easily access Shuffle, Repeat and Up Next
  • Choose how to sort Playlists, Albums, and Songs in your Library
  • When you connect your iPhone to Bluetooth headphones, there is now a headphones icon located in the status bar
