Every new update to YouTube Music begins by listening to people, and we’ve heard you loud and clear: Keep the music playing.” says Jason Robinson.

This update will allow people to continue to listen to YouTube Music while using other apps and also when the users’ screen is off. Through this update users can engage with the YouTube Music app through an exciting ad-supported, radio-like experience featuring the artists, songs, and albums they love, along with personalized mixes on shuffle. All of this without the hassle of having to keep the YouTube Music app open on the device.
