Following a month of beta testing, Apple Music 7.0 is now available for Android, featuring a brand new Liquid Glass redesign alongside a fresh icon for the streaming service. The update begins with a modified music note icon, opting for a sleek black or white design, in contrast to the earlier red backdrop. Throughout the app, the accent color shifts to blue, mirroring the iOS version.
Apple Music for Android now integrates a floating bottom bar, offering users a panoramic view of content surrounding the navigation element, with a subtle translucency effect to highlight solid colors beneath.
The mini-player has also undergone a makeover, no longer confined to the bottom bar, providing more flexibility in usage. However, unlike the iOS counterpart, scrolling within the app does not automatically adjust the bar to a more compact format. Version 7.0 brings a contemporary edge-to-edge design to both Android's system status and navigation bars, ensuring a seamless and modern look across the platform.
The top bars of Apple Music have been revamped, aligning the page title and overflow menu onto a singular line. The three-dot icons, previously adorned in red, now reside within circular containers, offering a contemporary and cohesive appearance. The Library tab has seen a significant overhaul, incorporating "Edit Pins" and "Edit Categories" within the three-dot menu, enhancing user interaction and personalization.
Artist pages have been given an extensive redesign, with backgrounds now dynamically themed according to the cover image, mirroring the iOS design ethos. The play button and info page now take center stage prominently, while the share option has been relocated to the top-right corner for easier access. The Settings page has received a fresh coat of paint, with improved grouping for a cleaner and more organized interface.
In comparison to iOS, the Now Playing feature has remained largely unchanged, avoiding any major updates that were seen on the iOS platform. Apple Music for Android has recently adopted a new versioning system, aligning it with iOS 27, ensuring a consistent and updated experience for users. The app is now widely accessible via the Google Play Store, marking the completion of its rollout. For more insights, viewers can tune into 9to5Google on YouTube.
