In October 2023, Google started testing a redesigned overflow menu for the Now Playing page on YouTube Music for iOS. Now, the company has started rolling it out to the public (via 9To5Google).
Over the last few years, Google has added a lot of options to the overflow menu on the Now Playing page of YouTube Music. With that, the menu became cluttered, and some of the most important options in the sheet became harder to find.
To tackle the problem, Google started testing a redesigned overflow menu on iOS in October 2023 with three large buttons at the top of the sheet for Play next, Save to playlist, and Share. These are some of the options that people use the most, and highlighting those options with larger buttons makes accessing them easier and using the music streaming app more convenient than before.
After almost three months, the company is now rolling out the redesign widely. It is worth mentioning that Google is rolling out the change only on iOS. The company hasn’t made it available on Android yet. You can find the new feature in version 6.34 of the YouTube Music app for iOS. Expect Google to bring the redesigned overflow menu on the YouTube Music app for Android in the next few days.
