YouTube Music adds an Activity feed to show artist news for subscribers

MADRID, (Portaltic/EP) – YouTube Music implemented a new ‘Activity’ section in the application for iOS and Android, in which it will publish notifications about updates from the artists to which users are subscribed, such as the publication of new albums or other content.

Google’s music streaming platform includes some sections, such as ‘Explore’, that help users discover new content and new artists. Likewise, it also offers recommendations based on each person’s musical tastes.

Now, as some users reported last March, through Reddit, the company intends to continue improving the experience in the ‘app’ through a system with which to alert users about the news they are carrying. out your favorite artists.

In this sense, YouTube Music began to add a new ‘feed’ in the ‘app’ which is referred to as ‘Activity’, in which it will show updates from the artists or content creators to which users are subscribed, as is the case of the release of a new album.

This was announced by 9to5Google, who has had access to this new function, after the latest update of the application for iOS and Android versions. As detailed, to access the new ‘feed’, YouTube Music has included a bell-shaped icon – identical to the icon used for notifications on the YouTube platform -, located next to the search button of the ‘app ‘, in the main tab.

In this way, by clicking on the bell, the ‘Activity’ section opens, where the platform indicates that it is a section in which it will show the updates of the artists to which users subscribe, in addition to “other activities”. Likewise, in this ‘feed’ YouTube will also show a list of artist suggestions, with content selected based on users’ listening history.

This is a useful option to keep users informed about the work of artists they regularly follow, directly from the application. With all this, the new YouTube Music Activity tab is beginning to be implemented for all users, both in the version of the app for Android and iOS.
