Discover How to Access YouTube Music’s Real-Time Lyrics Feature
YouTube Music has introduced a new feature that displays real-time lyrics, aiming to improve user experience. This update will revolutionize the way Android and iOS users interact with their favorite songs, further enhancing Google’s continuous efforts to enhance the lyrics feature. Fans can now enjoy a more engaging and immersive musical experience.
Live lyrics are coming to YouTube Music
The much-anticipated arrival of Live Lyrics to YouTube Music has sent excitement through the music streaming community. As reported by 9to5Mac, this feature is now graced with the YouTube Music app on both Android and iOS platforms. To use this dynamic music companion, users need to update the YouTube Music app to version 6.15 for Android or 6.16 for iOS.
Revolutionize your music experience
If you’re a dedicated YouTube Music user, you’re probably familiar with the current Lyrics tab found in the Now Playing section. While it served its purpose, it lacked the finesse of interactivity. With the introduction of Live Lyrics, the Lyrics tab is undergoing a striking makeover, with a fresh design, larger, more readable text, and improved spacing. But the real magic lies in its sensitivity to the song itself. Now, as the music plays, the current line of lyrics shines brilliantly in white, while the rest gently fades into the background, ensuring an optimal viewing experience.
This update doesn’t stop there. The page automatically refreshes when the track moves to the next line, maintaining seamless alignment with the flow of the music. A subtle touch is added with a blurred cover background followed by a note to indicate the arrival of the lyrics.
Not yet generally available
While this innovation promises to improve your music listening sessions, it’s worth noting that not all songs yet feature this real-time lyrics feature. For songs that haven’t migrated yet, the old static lyrics are still available. However, with the development of YouTube Music, there is hope that live lyrics will become the norm for a wider song library in the coming days.
Live lyrics on YouTube Music
As exciting as it is, the rollout of live lyrics may not be immediate for all users. To ensure that you are among the lucky beneficiaries of this feature, you may need to complete a few steps. The update is now available on both Android and iOS platforms, but you may need to give the YouTube Music app a gentle nudge. Go to App Info, Force stop the app and then restart it. Keep in mind that live lyrics may not be available for every song, so feel free to explore multiple tracks to find this intriguing musical addition.
