This week, YouTube Music rolled out its latest update, advancing to version 7.01 from the previous 6.51. While version numbers often lack significance for modern Google apps, this release marks a notable change as YouTube Music finally refreshes its app store screenshots, a first since its last update in 2018.
The updated visuals are being introduced on iOS, showcasing several new features: Now Playing, the radio creator, Samples, the dynamic Home feed, playlists, and YouTube Premium. Despite these aesthetic changes, the Play Store still displays the older interface, highlighting the bottom bar with three tabs, including “Trending.”
In addition to the visual overhaul, recent functional enhancements have been integrated into YouTube Music. These include a redesigned Cast menu, new podcast sort filters, artist search capabilities within the radio creator, an “Activity” notifications feed, and an improved Comments panel.
Moreover, Google has announced the rollout of the YouTube Music Gemini Extension, though it has yet to appear on all accounts. This update exemplifies Google’s ongoing commitment to enhancing user experience through both visual and functional improvements, ensuring YouTube Music remains competitive and user-friendly.
