Suno integrates generative AI music into Apple’s iMessage
The latest update to the Suno app allows for text and voice prompts to generate audio, though recipients must also have the application installed to listen.
Suno has released an update to its iPhone application, introducing a new integration with Apple’s iMessage platform. The feature enables users to generate 30-second audio tracks directly within chat threads, utilising either text or voice prompts to create the content.
To access the function, users must have the latest version of the Suno iPhone app installed. Within an iMessage conversation, individuals can tap the plus button to select Suno from the available applications. The interface allows users to paste messages from contacts as prompts and select a specific genre for the resulting audio output.
The integration includes a specific requirement for recipients: they must also have the Suno application installed on their devices to view and listen to the generated content. This technical constraint ensures that the audio files are processed and played back through the dedicated software rather than as standard media attachments.
Suno is a generative AI music platform that creates audio from text prompts. The company has previously faced public scrutiny regarding allegations that its training data includes tens of millions of scraped tracks from the internet, including copyrighted works. These claims remain allegations rather than legally adjudicated facts.
This development aligns with a broader industry trend of embedding AI tools into messaging platforms. The move has drawn mixed reactions regarding the utility and authenticity of AI-generated content, with some observers expressing scepticism about the social implications of sending automated media.
