YouTube Music is testing a new UI for its mobile app’s Now Playing screen that moves buttons around.
The update, currently available to a limited group of users, places the secondary button row towards the screen’s bottom.
The change also retires the visible playhead when not interacting with a song’s timeline.
YouTube Music is one of the most popular music streaming apps (https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-music-alternatives-3486203/) out there. Offered to YouTube Premium (https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-premium-1119004/) subscribers at no extra cost, the service provides an extensive music catalog — featuring unofficial tracks and covers unavailable elsewhere. Though, since Google owns it, the Spotify rival (https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-music-vs-spotify-1120611/) is bound to go through unnecessary mutations every now and then. The latest YouTube Music test tweaks the Now Playing screen’s UI by moving its buttons around.

Those impacted by this change will notice that the primary button row, which includes shuffle, rewind, pause/play, next, and repeat, now lives right under the song’s name. Meanwhile, the secondary button row encompassing likes/dislikes, comments, save, and share has moved towards the bottom of the screen, as shown in the screenshots above.
