Due to the limitations of iOS itself, the iPhone is generally considered to be unable to implement functions that rely on overlays, such as the desktop lyrics function of a music app.
However, NetEase Cloud Music app recently launched version 8.7.50 for iOS, claiming to implement desktop lyrics function.
According to APPSO’s actual measurement, the implementation of the desktop lyrics function of NetEase Cloud Music app is to render the lyrics in the form of picture-in-picture. The lyrics overlay is not transparent and will block the display content.
Specifically, the lyrics function of the new version of NetEase Cloud Music app can be understood as a small video floating window – in fact, NetEase Cloud Music still does not break through the original limitations of iOS, and directly realizes the suspension, and the lyrics display can only be displayed when the vertical screen is displayed. in the upper and lower areas.

Because the desktop lyrics are realized by the picture-in-picture function, the desktop lyrics function of the NetEase Cloud Music app on the iPhone is slightly different from that on the desktop or Android.
The first is that your iOS version needs to be above iOS 14, because Apple only added the picture-in-picture function to iOS in iOS 14. Secondly, there are certain differences from the desktop lyrics functions of other platforms in these places:
- Can’t penetrate clicks (lyrics block clicks and transmit click events to the overridden element), but have additional control functions
- You can drag the lyrics to the edge of the screen to temporarily hide it, or click the upper left corner of the overlay to close it directly (it will not stop the music), but you cannot freely control the placement of the lyrics, you can only place them on the upper and lower edges or corners of the screen (in the safe area).
In addition, this desktop lyrics is not like other picture-in-picture functions, you can freely control the size. The width is exactly the horizontal size of the screen in the portrait state, plus the setting that cannot be freely placed, this desktop lyrics may appear a bit “in the way” in the landscape state.
Long before NetEase Cloud Music, there were other apps that used the picture-in-picture function of iOS to implement functions that required overlays. For example, the “Floating Window” app uses the picture-in-picture function to display the system monitoring function (it is unknown if it is accurate or not).
Of course, since the iOS system only allows one picture-in-picture interface at the same time, it is still not feasible to put multiple overlays on the desktop.

Although NetEase Cloud Music’s “Picture-in-Picture Lyrics” function may be a little different from everyone’s expectations, the overall experience is still good. Will you use this function?
