Overview

• Playback controls are reorganized into a compact carousel beneath the track title and artist, replacing the previous bottom tabs with quick actions like thumbs, comments, save, lyrics, share, download, radio, and the song/video switcher.
• A new Up Next drag handle opens a dual‑pane view that displays the upcoming queue alongside the main player, showing about four songs by default and expanding to a full list.
• The progress bar switches to a boxy scrubber that removes the traditional playhead and thickens when touched for easier scrubbing.
• Lyrics and Related open as restyled, fully expandable sheets that keep the current song and play/pause controls visible at the top, with podcast controls updated to match.
• The redesign is rolling out widely on Android and iOS via a server-side update, and some users report activating it by force‑stopping the app, with a few isolated reports noting playback glitches during the rollout.
