YouTube Music Tests 'Find in Playlist' Search in Limited iOS Rollout

The experiment addresses a long-standing playlist navigation gap for users with large libraries.

Overview

  • Early sightings show the option on YouTube Music for iOS version 8.45.3, with the initial report coming from a Reddit user in India.
  • The control appears in a playlist’s three-dot menu as “Find in playlist,” allowing users to type a track name to locate songs within that list.
  • Availability is part of a narrow A/B test, so many users with the same app version do not see the feature.
  • Android and radio playlists saved in the library are not supported at this stage, and there is no timeline for a broader release.
  • Separate reports indicate YouTube Music is also testing real-time lyrics translation, suggesting concurrent feature experiments.
