Youtube Music attracts attention by adding a new sharing feature to the application on Android platform. Now users can choose the lyrics of the songs they listen to and share with their friends in visual format. This feature is presented as an extension of previous real -time song support in practice. It stands out as an innovation that both personalizes and integrates the user experience with social media.
The new feature has been added to the “Words” tab of the application and can be accessed with the “Share” button in the form of the pill at the bottom of the screen. When this button is touched, users are directed to a special interface where they can select the lines they want to share. The selection of line can be made touching and it becomes possible to combine a few lines and create a single visual. When the election is completed, the personalization stage is started with the “Next” option.
On the next screen, the user offers a background mixture of different colors. In this visual design area, the song is named, artist and album cover is on the top, while the Youtube Music logo has the lower section. Thus, both the information about the song is protected and visual integrity is provided. This content, which is prepared for sharing, can be recorded in the device gallery and can be easily shared with other applications.
Although this feature has not yet been opened to access to all users, the first determinations show that the Android side is available on a limited number of devices. This indicates that the feature is gradually released. In this way, Google has emitted the past “now playing” interface update, and that process had advanced very slowly. For this reason, the sharing of words seems to be likely to spread to a similar calendar.
Integration between Youtube Music and social media platforms is strengthening
In addition, it can be said that Youtube Music is in search of a deeper integration with these new particular social media platforms. It is known that competing platforms such as Spotify have long been presenting similar functions. The fact that Youtube Music is late in sharing words makes this move even more remarkable. Nevertheless, the fact that the visual sharing is focused on suggests that the application aims for the young user audience.
In the meantime, the quality and order of the created image is also remarkable. Simple design has been preferred, the readability of the articles has been prioritized. The album cover and background harmony increases the aesthetic integrity of the image. Thus, the user is not only able to convey the emotion of that song with the visual.
In addition to all these, the fact that the feature is currently offered to a limited number of users on the Android side creates an uncertainty for iOS users. So far, official information or timing of Apple devices has not been announced. Although Google is a known approach to try the Android side in such updates, iOS users are expected to benefit from this feature soon.
This sharing tool offered by Youtube Music provides new opportunities for content producers. In particular, it is known that content -containing content attracts great attention on platforms such as Tiktok, Instagram Stories or X (formerly twitter). This new visual sharing support can carry content production to a more creative dimension. Creating meaningful visuals from the lyrics of the songs can directly affect the time spent on the platform.
