Apple has just released iOS 8.4.1, which includes fixes for, among other things, Apple Music. It also includes some improvements to accessibility, primarily where it comes to Apple's screen-reader, VoiceOver.

The improvements should make it easier for people with limited or no vision to access the additional information and controls available in Apple Music. That includes, for example, following and unfollowing artists in Connect.

iOS 8.4.1 is available via iTunes on the Mac or Windows, or on-device via Software Update.
