YouTube, Play Music, and Hangouts all receiving minor updates

google-logo-640-80




Google is pushing out updates to a few of its apps, including Hangouts, YouTube, and Play Music. None of the updates are huge, but they bring a few extra features that are definitely worth having.


Hangouts is the most minor update of the three, bringing no noticeable changes in features. This one is likely just a bugfix update, so your app should crash less, perform better, etc. Nothing to get overly excited about.


The YouTube update brings some small changes, including a View All button in the slide out menu that takes you to all of your YouTube playlists, and playlists have received a context menu that allows you to save and share them. If you don’t use playlists on YouTube often, you might not get much use out it, but for others that should be a pretty well received feature.


Play Music has gotten the biggest update, bringing along a few new widgets to slap on your home screen. There is now a 1×1 “I’m Feeling Lucky” widget and a 3×1 widget with an update look and color scheme that can be resized to 4×4 to show full album artwork and playback controls. The Download Queue within the application has also been renamed to Manage Downloads, and it’ll show you your available storage space at the top. That should help users that try to keep their internal storage stuffed with downloaded music.


If you haven’t already seen the updates on the Play Store, you can grab the apps from below. Otherwise, sit tight and wait for Google’s staged rollout to hit your device.
