Along with iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4, Apple has introduced a new universal Apple Account profile that provides a unified and recognizable experience across all its apps, including the App Store, Music and Podcasts.
The update replaces the individual account layouts that differed per app. Users will now receive one consistent interface in which navigation, profile settings and options are clearly brought together.
Universal Apple Account profile
Apple is introducing a universal Apple Account profile that provides a consistent and streamlined experience across all Apple apps, such as the App Store, Music app, and Settings. Where previously each app had its own account layout with varying navigation and options, it now uses one unified interface.
The new Apple Account Profile lets you quickly find your account settings, subscriptions, payment information and security options, allowing you to switch between services faster without repeated logins or inconsistent menus.
You can easily customize your profile via the settings app by tapping your name. Then all data is synced to iCloud, as well as all your devices and apps. In the App Store, Music, Podcasts, etc., you can quickly view your profile by tapping your profile photo. The interface is universal and consistent across all apps, making it easy to add balances and view app-specific settings.
