In your journey to customize your listening experience, you’ve probably made quite a few playlists in your day. You can do the same thing easily on YouTube’s music streaming platform, but the company made a slight change. YouTube Music will automatically save songs to your most recent playlist, according to 9To5Google.
Adding playlists to YouTube Music is an easier affair. When you find the song that you want, simply tap on the three-dot menu to summon some options. About halfway down the menu, you’ll see the Add to playlist button. When you do that, you’ll see a UI with previously created playlists.
The most recently created ones will appear at the top in a carousel while the others will sit below in an alphabetical list. If there aren’t any, tap on the + New Playlist button on the bottom right of the screen. You can also add an entire album to a playlist in the very same way.
YouTube Music will automatically save songs to your most recent playlist
If you’re on a spree and you’re adding songs to a specific playlist, then this feature will make the process just a little bit faster. When you tap the Add to playlist option, that song or album will be sent to your most recent playlist. Instead of opening up the playlist selection UI, you’ll just see a little notification at the bottom of the screen telling you what playlist it was saved to.
If you didn’t want to save it to that playlist, you can tap on the Change button on that notification. Then, you’ll be able to choose another playlist.
If this functionality sounds familiar, it’s the same way that things are handled on the main YouTube app. It seems that the company wants to make for a more consistent experience. This is the same thing for both the web version of YouTube Music and the mobile apps.
There’s a difference, however. Using the website, you’re able to toggle functionality from the settings. As for the app, there’s no setting. It’s on by default.
