YouTube Music will soon let you swipe to change tracks

Swipe to change tracks is a nice-to-have feature that YouTube Music didn't carry over from its predecessor.

What you need to know

• Some YouTube Music users are reporting the presence of a new swipe to switch track feature in the app.
• Other music apps like Google Play Music supported the gesture in the past.
• Not all users have access to it yet, it's likely a server-side test.

YouTube Music is trying out a new swipe to change tracks gesture. Recently spotted by people over at the eponymous YouTube Music subreddit, the feature works exactly as you'd imagine. You swipe your finger on the album art, and the next track comes into view.

Though Pixel 4 users have a variant of this where motion-sense was used switch tracks, this is a bit more conventional. Like all YouTube Music features, it seems to be a server-side activated feature, so no apk version will automatically trigger it for you. Google has yet to announce it as well, so it may still be a long wait.

Google has updated YouTube Music with a bunch of nice to have features as it completes the transition from Google Play Music. There's a nice new music player, a lyrics feature, support for a new Explore tab, and a quick tool to move all your songs from Google Play Music over. Most or all of these features should be available to most people at the moment, so expect this to join within the next couple of months.
