• YouTube Music has rolled out a double-tap gesture that lets users “like” songs by tapping the album cover center.
• This quality-of-life improvement adds liked songs directly to the user’s playlist, mimicking the gesture from other social platforms.
• The feature is available starting with YouTube Music version 8.14.53A, after initial references were found in an earlier update.

YouTube Music is bundled with a YouTube Premium subscription, which works well for the service and lets it stay competitive against other streaming giants like Spotify. Google is slowly but surely adding features to YouTube Music, hoping to keep users content with it. We spotted a small quality-of-life change that most users would overlook, but would definitely find it amiss if it weren’t present.

YouTube Music v8.14.53A is rolling out the ability to double-tap to like songs. Strings for this feature were added back in version 8.03.51, but now the feature is rolling out to users.
