Not long ago, YouTube Music launched a new feature to recognize songs. And now the streaming platform is adding a little more convenience to the mix with another tweak.
As reported Nine to Five Google, YouTube Music is revamping its custom share sheet within its Android app. This redesign follows its recent launch on iOS just a few days ago.
Now, when you tap Share, you won’t see the grid-based sheet that used to take up more than half of your display. Instead, it’s much smaller, featuring a carousel that displays about five targets per screen.
Below you’ll find a “Copy Link” button, which was the first option in the previous design, and a “Share with Other Apps” button, which opens the system sharing sheet. The new size is about 1/3 of the screen. More convenient for one-handed use.
This new design mirrors the layout of the YouTube app, but with a few differences. For example, YouTube Music’s share sheet extends edge to edge, while the native app’s share sheet has rounded edges.
YouTube Music launched in 2015 and has been on the rise ever since. statistics This represents a 60% increase in user base between 2019 and 2020. When it comes to pricing, YouTube Music has a free tier. However, it has some limitations, such as no background playback and lots of ads.
A personal subscription to YouTube Music costs $9.99 per month. Key competitors Apple Music and Spotify also offer individual plans for $10.99.
Alternatively, you can get YouTube Music as part of a YouTube Premium subscription for $13.99 per month. This premium package offers ad-free content from the base app, video download options for offline viewing, background playback, and additional features. Recently, YouTube Premium has surpassed 100 million subscribers worldwide.
