Oct. 14, 2020Google is going all-in on YouTube Music as it prepares tocompletely shut down Google Play Musicby the end of the year. Now, to attract more users in the Apple ecosystem, Google has launched an Apple Watch app for YouTube Music. As9to5Googlereports, the app was added with YouTube Music version 3.88.
With the newApple Watchapp for YouTube Music, you can perform all the standard music playback controls like play/pause, skip to next or previous tracks, cast, and like songs. According to the App Store listing, the new YouTube Music’s Apple Watch app is compatible withwatchOS 6.0and later.
Ironically, the new YouTube Music app for Apple Watch comes before even Google’s Wear OS has one. However, a Google employeerecently promisedthat an app for Wear OS is in the works and will arrive in the ‘coming months’. One should not be surprised though, as this is not the first time Google is prioritizing apps on Apple products before it manages to deliver the same on its own platforms.
