YouTube Music’s new listening stats will let you show off your music tastes publicly, Music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music presently dominate the member, but YouTube Music isn’t too far ahead. The app has seen a sprinkle of provocative additions in the recent history, as real- time lyrics made their way to the platform, while Google also rolled out visual changes to the app’s Library tab before this month. The app has now privately gained a new social point, enabling stoners to make their listening stats public.

While stoners can formerly display public playlists on their profile, this point addition takes goods a step further. The capability to make listening stats public can be set up under YouTube Music Settings-> insulation & position-> Channel settings-> Enable public stats. stoners will see a dialog box advising them of the impacts of making goods privately visible. There’s also a note also that public stats will appear on the channel for over to two times and that any new stats or criteria added to YouTube Music will be turned off by dereliction.

Enabling public stats gives you access to the Advanced insulation settings option in the Channel settings menu. stoners will find four toggles inside this menu — Show songs on duplication, Show artists on duplication, Show music vids on duplication, and Show playlists on duplication. These toggles also specify that music vids and playlists will only appear on the user’s profile if their visibility is set to public.

I’m seeing the changes in the YouTube Music app formerly, while our Google Editor Manuel Vonau can also enervate for its visibility. But as 9to5Google points out, Google hasn’t published the support runner for this point addition just yet, and there are no mentions of it from the YouTube team also.

nevertheless, this exercise could be Google’s attempt to add a sprinkling of social chops to YouTube Music. It’ll not be new to the business, still, with Spotify offering its own interpretation of stats on stoners’ lives which is supposedly getting a redesign. Meanwhile, Apple Music also has a similar point in place.
