TL; Dr.
- YouTube Music has rolled out a double-tap gesture that gives users the song “Like” by tapping the album cover center.
- This quality-life correction adds directly liked songs to the user’s playlist, imitating gestures from other social platforms.
- This feature is scheduled to begin with YouTube music version 8.14.53A, after the initial references are found in the earlier updates.
YouTube music has been bundled with YouTube premium membership, which works well for service and allows it to be competitive against other streaming giants such as Spotify. Google is slowly, but is definitely adding features to YouTube music, hoping users to keep it satisfied with it. We saw a small quality life change, which most users would ignore, but if it was not present, it will surely get it.
YouTube Music V8.14.53A is rolling the ability to double-tap to like songs. For this feature, strings were added back to version 8.03.51, but now this feature is rolling for users.
Earlier, double-tapping did nothing at the center of the album cover, while the double-tapping on the sides looked for the song towards the tap. Now, double taping the center of the album cover prefers the song, which automatically adds it to the song playlist.
Many users have become accustomed to pointing “double-tap” for thanks to thanks to the spread of gestures on short-form video platforms such as Ticketkok, Instagram Reels and YouTube shorts. YouTube music is now jumping on the trend, so users will no longer find the platform as a strange man.
