#YouTube Music update

YouTube Music is rolling out a new split-view design for its “Now Playing” screen on Android and iOS devices. YouTube Music has started placing song lyrics behind a paywall, requiring users to subscribe to YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium to view full lyrics. With the update, YouTube Music only allows five free lyric views. To continue viewing lyrics without limits, users must subscribe to YouTube Music Premium or YouTube Premium. In the Philippines, YouTube Music Premium is priced at around ₱169 per month, while YouTube Premium costs about ₱239 per month. Google has been testing this lyrics restriction for several months, and the wider rollout suggests it is now part of YouTube Music’s standard experience. For Filipino users who often rely on lyrics, this update may change how they use YouTube Music, especially for casual listening. YouTube has introduced a new AI Playlist feature for YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium subscribers, allowing users to instantly generate personalized playlists based on an idea, mood, or genre.
