New Delhi: YouTube Music has redesigned its “Now Playing” screen with a new comments section that allows users to read and write comments directly from the app.
The redesign is currently being rolled out to iOS and Android devices globally, reports 9to5Google.
The new comments button shows existing comments from the official music video on YouTube.
Users can also type their own content, which adds a more engaging social component to the app.
The comment button is located under the cover art. When a user selects the button, a panel slides up on the screen.
Next to the comments are icons for like/dislike, save, share, download and radio, which were previously hidden and only accessible when users tapped on the album cover.
Late last month, YouTube Music rolled out a useful live lyrics feature on Android and iOS globally for music lovers.
The existing Lyrics tab in Now Playing gets upgraded with a new design and larger text that sees much better spacing. The page will refresh and move when the song jumps to the next line.
