Apple just fixed a bunch of bugs in iOS 9 and made some notable improvements to Apple Music, its streaming music service.

The iOS 9.2 update that was released on Tuesday is a recommended download for all iPhone and iPad owners.

Apple Music users should notice the following changes:

  • "You can now create a new playlist when adding a song to a playlist."
  • "Your most recently changed playlist is now listed at the top when adding songs to playlists."
  • "Download albums or playlists from your iCloud Music Library by tapping the iCloud download button."
  • "See which songs have been downloaded with the new download indicator next to each song in My Music and Playlists."
  • "See works, composers, and performers while browsing Classical music in the Apple Music catalog."

The downloaded indicator alone should be a welcome addition in Apple Music given that there hasn't been a clear way to tell which songs are downloaded in the app since the service launched in June.

Apple Music users on Twitter are reporting that the app works much better after this recent update.

Other bug fixes in iOS 9.2 include a new "Top Stories" section in the Apple News app, the ability to send larger attachments in the Mail app, and bug fixes for many of Apple's other apps, like Safari and iBooks.
