YouTube Music is a new contender for music platforming that recently appeared on the Internet. FM presents officially accredited MVs, live performances, remixes, and covers of popular UK bands.

This integration allows users to sift through music using different criteria modes. It includes official music videos and live and backstage sessions. This article will tell you about these great new choices and what they can do for your ears.

Synopsis of 2024 Updates

As a result, changes are closer to the latter, and additional ones may be convenient for the users. YouTube Music started featuring a new format called the ‘New Features Highlights’ in 2024, which rolls out every quarter. It also provides a crystal clear model for conveying information and improvements across. 

However, in December, YouTube Music published a summary of features released during the year's second half. This consolidated update will notify all clients of the updates to the features and enhancements implemented during the period.

Core Attributes

From the second half of 2024, YouTube Music has brought some features to optimize several types of service use. Here's a breakdown by month:

July Updates: 

In July, some more features were in the orientation toward personalization. This is an innovation station where users send their favorite songs.

At the same time, the idea of shelf headers also evolved. It was simplified so that people could understand how they could help find necessary areas in the application.

August Updates: 

As a next step, we introduced an in-app feature called Ask, August. This feature allowed fans to ask questions. These are related to the music being played, and the answers were provided using a Google knowledge graph. This month, a mobile app launch animation slightly improves the appearance of the application's launch.

September Updates: 

October was about podcasts and content curation. New columns to recommend podcasts currently consumed were in the list to the system to improve podcast recommendation. 

Also, the application's basic grid format began to mimic unwatched episodes, bringing the relevant episodes in the library into focus.

October Updates: 

The updates in October were visual updates and interaction updates. A new artist header presents a better-looking and more informative artist page than the previous one. 

Clearing sub-items from queues and playlists was less invasive; one only needed a swipe to eliminate them. Last, haptic improvements in Android OS improved the feeling of touch during communications within the application.

November Updates:

November's theme was playlists and cooperation. New and improved filter techniques included features that enriched the playlists and enabled users to sort them more efficiently. 

In our view, the most important of these was the opportunity to create and modify several playlists, suggested as collective ones, Which means that several users can add their own choices.

User Experience Enhancements

The new features are good and will be in selling in mid-2024. They improve YouTube Music for users in the following ways. The shelf headers for texts and the redesigned artist header can be considered improvements in that part of browsing.

This also means the paradigmatic swipe-to-remove gesture enhances all the actions happening inside the playlists and queues. The solutions enhance the recommended system and the target recommendation creation for the playing list listeners. They enhance the finding of new content and organize the episodes. 

Playlists are better when they can be sharable; the latest addition of collaborative playlists has realized this. To a certain extent, more options for filtering increase the ability to choose. It can sort the list of music according to the user’s preferences. 

The Extract

The updates of YouTube Music in 2024 have brought many improvements to this platform. Elements such as User Profile Radio, a new concise Shelf Header, Ask Music, enhanced Podcast recommendations, simplified swipe to remove, and collaborative playlists have made the environment personal, simple, and engaging. 

We call upon all YouTube Music users to try the new features and enjoy the updated environment independently. It amazes me how useful your feedback is to our ongoing efforts. It is to build the future of YouTube Music.
