A big update has been made to the beta version of Apple Music for Android, giving users a new and better experience. It doesn’t have the “Liquid Glass” redesign that the iOS version does, but it does add some key elements and new features that make the platform better.
The user interface is where you’ll notice the changes the most. For controls like play, shuffle, and repeat, Apple Music on Android now has new pill-shaped buttons. These make the app look cleaner and more modern, similar to how the iOS app looks.
The update also works to improve the user’s music library. With the new feature, users can “pin” their favorite songs to the top of their library so they can get to them quickly. This is a very useful tool for quickly finding and playing albums or playlists that you listen to a lot.
Plus, any content that is pinned is downloaded automatically to the device and synced with the user’s iOS Apple Music library, so the experience is the same on all of them.
The lyrics and translation tools have been added, which is a big change. Google’s AI is said to power the “lyrics translation and pronunciation guide” that is now part of the app.
This feature is great for people who want to learn a new language or figure out what songs in other languages mean. The pronunciation guide is one of a kind and very useful for people who want to connect with the music more deeply.
Apple Music also now has monthly and yearly statistics on how many times a song has been played right in the app. This makes it easy for users to look back at what they’ve been listening to and find the songs, artists, and albums they’ve played the most this year. It’s fun and interesting to read this personalized summary of their musical journey.
The updated app also has some new features, though not all of them have been confirmed yet. There is no official word on whether the “AutoMix” feature, which lets you switch between tracks like a DJ, will make it to the Android version. However, the other new features make this a big and welcome update for Apple Music users on Android.
