The YouTube Music app is basic in layout and ease of use. The home screen is customized towards your choices of personal artist.

The app’s prominent unique feature is the tracks are gathered from the range of content accessible on YouTube. You will find plenty of offerings you can’t get anywhere else.

You will also find controls in the app that allow you to change the streaming quality through high, regular, and low.

These can be chosen for both Wi-Fi and mobile streaming. You can choose to play low-quality videos on mobile while HD on Wi-Fi.

You can also download songs for offline listening, either albums, playlists, or individual tracks. That will suggest you can listen without streaming, to save data, or when you are traveling.

The Home tab is a combination of everything. The Explore tab allows you to find new music such as new releases, dive into genres or moods.

The answer to this is pretty straightforward. The YouTube app is mainly about the video content you can watch. The app concentrates on suggestions and subscriptions.

The more you watch, the more recommendations you will receive for related and relevant videos YouTube thinks you will love.

Meanwhile, the YouTube Music app is all about listening to music content. It is dedicated to music, with video playlists of songs, recommended tunes, and a music search tool.

All videos in the app are music or music-related. So, you don’t need to dig through irrelevant videos to get what you like.
