Here’s everything you need to know about the new updates. Speed Dial Replaces Listen Again on YouTube Music The new Speed dial layout offers a 3x3 grid across three pages, displaying a total of 27 items like songs, albums, artists and playlists. This replaces the old 10x2 carousel, which only showed six items per screen. Now, users can tap to play a track without leaving the Home feed, as the Now Playing screen doesn’t pop up automatically.

This updated Speed dial format was expanded from showing nine items to 27 to make it easier for users to quickly find their favourite repeated songs and artists. The Speed dial feature currently is widely available on Android and iOS. In case it is not visible even after updating the app, users can try refreshing the Home tab or force-stopping the app to see the feature. The update hasn't yet rolled out to the web or Android tablets, both still show the old "Listen again" section for now. Updated Menus on YouTube Music Apart from the Speed Dial rollout, YouTube Music has also updated its three-dot overflow menus on Android and iOS. YouTube Music now has updated the menu into a floating panel with rounded corners, matching the style of the main YouTube app. The changes are subtle and almost not noticeable due to YouTube Music’s dark background. No changes can be noticed in how the overflow menu is organised. (Image credit - 9to5Google) Also, unlike iOS, the sharing option still uses the old design on Android. With version 7.24 of YouTube Music, the Now Playing screen has also received a minor update, removing the colourful glow around the "Connect to " button in favour of a simpler black-and-white look. “Connect to ” button now overlays on cover art. (Image credit - 9to5Google)Earlier this month, YouTube introduced design updates for the main app, including a frosted glass effect and a new bottom bar with revised icons. It’s unclear if or when these changes will come to YouTube Music, as features like the mini player would need an update to support a translucent bar. However, YouTube Music’s web app was the first to feature the pink/magenta progress bar, a design element seen in recent updates. FAQs Q1. What new feature has YouTube Music introduced recently?
