In an attempt to make the app less cluttered, the app is now testing for the overflow menu redesign that makes the overflowing menu a little compact. Some of the YouTube Music iOS app users might have seen this new change, as it is out for testing.<\/p>\n<p>However, the overflow menu redesign does not bring out a significant difference in how the app works or looks. But here&#8217;s everything that has changed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_72 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/blog\/youtube\/youtube-overflow-menu-redesign\/#YouTube_Music_Overflow_Menu_Redesign_What_Changed\" title=\"YouTube Music Overflow Menu Redesign: What Changed?\">YouTube Music Overflow Menu Redesign: What Changed?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/blog\/youtube\/youtube-overflow-menu-redesign\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Music_Overflow_Menu_Redesign_What_Changed\"><\/span>YouTube Music Overflow Menu Redesign: What Changed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20691\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20691 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/YouTube-Musics-latest-update-of-overflow-menu-redesign.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Music's latest update of overflow menu redesign\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/YouTube-Musics-latest-update-of-overflow-menu-redesign.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/YouTube-Musics-latest-update-of-overflow-menu-redesign-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/YouTube-Musics-latest-update-of-overflow-menu-redesign-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/YouTube-Musics-latest-update-of-overflow-menu-redesign-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/YouTube-Musics-latest-update-of-overflow-menu-redesign-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: 9to5Google<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>YouTube Music on iOS changed its look a few months back by introducing a new <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube\/youtube-music-for-iphone-now-has-permanent-miniplayer\/\">permanent mini player<\/a> at the bottom of the home screen of the app. And now again, it is back with another redesign; that is, the overflow menu getting shorter. The overflow menu before had lots of buttons and stretched really long. So, for users to access things easily, it now has <strong>three large buttons at the top<\/strong>; <strong>Play Next<\/strong>, <strong>Start Radio<\/strong>, and<strong> Share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The first two were already on the top of the list on the old menu. While the share option was at the bottom. So, this is the app&#8217;s attempt to make it easier for the user to perform the most interacted actions easily. To access this menu, you have to tap on the <strong>Now Playing<\/strong> page. The overflow menu redesign makes it appear a bit shorter. Users still have to scroll down to see all the options available in the menu. So, in the end, there is not much of a difference when compared.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube Music has been in the news a lot lately since the platform is trying its best to have an edge over all its competitors. With the rise in all other music listening apps like Spotify, Amazon Music, and others, this platform is also trying to upscale itself. The platform is the official Google partner for podcasts. With the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube\/how-to-listen-to-podcasts-on-youtube-music\/\">launch of Podcasts<\/a> to the YouTube Music app, the platform is trying to bring more listeners to it. Recently, the app has also introduced more mood filters or tabs, making it easy for users to find songs that match the mood.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a Premium YouTube Music user, then you can now also enable Smart downloads. So now users can hook on to the latest episode from their favorite podcast any time they want, offline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With that all being said, it&#8217;s important to note that YouTube Music&#8217;s latest update of overflow menu redesign is another attempt at making the app more user-friendly. Since the app was not a hit as YouTube itself, with all these new subtle improvements, it&#8217;s trying to make itself stand out better.<\/p>\n<p>If you are an artist on YouTube and want your videos to be visible to your audience, you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promote video on YouTube.<\/a> Multiple promotion services like VeeFly help you promote your music videos and songs on different platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is YouTube Music&#8217;s attempt on shrinking the overflowing menu!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":20692,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[971],"class_list":["post-20688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-youtube","tag-youtube-overflow-menu-redesign"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3.1 (Yoast SEO v25.3.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>YouTube Music Testing Overflow Menu Redesign<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"YouTube Music is testing the new overflow menu redesign with selective users.
