YouTube Music is testing animated play and pause buttons. It is a small visual tweak, and some people may never see it.
YouTube Music is testing buttons that move when you tap them. According to Android Authority, the app is trying out animated icons for controls like play and pause, plus several others. If you listen to music on your phone with the app, the controls could soon feel a bit more lively.
Right now, the playback buttons in the app are plain pictures. In this test, some of them would show a short bit of motion when used. The report names play and pause, and says several other buttons are included too. It does not say which ones.
YouTube Music is Google's music streaming app. Anyone who uses it could be touched by this, but only if the test reaches their phone. Tests like this are often shown to a small group first. They do not always roll out to everyone, so some users may never see the change.
The material does not say how many people are in the test or when it started. It also does not say whether the animated buttons will become permanent, or when that might happen. The full article was not available, so details beyond the summary are thin.
Nothing. There is no setting to change and no update to hunt for. If you use YouTube Music and the buttons start to move, that is likely this test reaching your phone.
Nothing to do: if YouTube Music's play and pause buttons start to move, you are probably in a small design test.
