The updated screen now offers a swipeable split between your basic music information and your &#8220;up next&#8221; screen. Starting with the former, the Now Playing screen still displays the album cover in the center with your media controls right under that.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-seasonal\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-base\"\/>\n<p id=\"584d53aa-8ae5-46a3-8fa6-2304d0969e73-2\">However, the toggles to switch between audio (the song) and its video are no longer present above the album cover. YouTube Music has also brought its row of elements (like, dislike, comments, add to playlist) down under the media controls. The app removed Lyrics from the bottom, placing them within this repositioned row of options.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pt-3 pb-4 mb-4 border-solid border-y border-neutral-300\">\n<span class=\"font-article-heading block pb-3 !text-base font-bold uppercase sm:text-sm text-[#333]\"><br \/>\nYou may like<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>At the very bottom, users will notice a classic floating bar that mirrors what you&#8217;d see when using gestures on Android. Pulling up (swiping up) will display the songs YouTube Music plans to play next. The publication notes that users can pull this up part way, which will show four brief songs, or pull it up all the way to see a more extensive list.<\/p>\n<p>When fully open, this full list makes the Now Playing screen extremely compact, minimizing the cover at the top left with the title, artist, casting icon, and the three-dot menu beside it. This minimized state will also occur when opening your Lyrics and Related options, too.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-a3d7658b-6a50-4439-8e21-cc2f451a7f48\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"youtube-music-brings-people-together-3\">YouTube Music brings people together<\/h2>\n<div id=\"slice-container-imageGallery-GSB9DLcwxFL5aAQxBBLqbd-TBT5S28FOwBaBvC5F2UFnSIeHp8ADg0T\" class=\"slice-container imageGallery-wrapper imageGallery-GSB9DLcwxFL5aAQxBBLqbd-TBT5S28FOwBaBvC5F2UFnSIeHp8ADg0T slice-container-imageGallery\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"inline-gallery first-slide-only\">\n<p>Image <!-- -->1<!-- --> of <!-- -->2<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:hidden\" class=\"inline-gallery__items\">\n<div style=\"-webkit-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;-webkit-transition:all 0s ease 0s;transition:all 0s ease 0s;-webkit-transform:translate(0%, 0);transform:translate(0%, 0);direction:ltr;display:flex;will-change:transform\" class=\"react-swipeable-view-container\">\n<div style=\"width:100%;-webkit-flex-shrink:0;flex-shrink:0;overflow:auto\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:266px\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\" style=\"padding-bottom:150%\">\n<div style=\"display:contents\"><picture data-hydrate=\"true\"><source class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PQps8eK9cL6PEUgvuRgc3J-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PQps8eK9cL6PEUgvuRgc3J-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PQps8eK9cL6PEUgvuRgc3J-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PQps8eK9cL6PEUgvuRgc3J-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PQps8eK9cL6PEUgvuRgc3J-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PQps8eK9cL6PEUgvuRgc3J-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw -
