YouTube Music Wants You to Discover New Songs With Filters Based on Your Mood

YouTube Music is reportedly testing new filters to enhance the music experience for its users. According to a Reddit user, the home page of the app added four filters namely: Workout, Focus, Relax, and Commute – a feature seen on the main YouTube app. The user in the Reddit post also pointed out that the filters were rolled out via a server-side update and it is not available for YouTube Music’s Web client yet. YouTube Music which is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, is yet to announce plans for the new filter update.

As per screenshots attached to the Reddit post, the four new filters appear right below the search button present at the top-right corner of the YouTube Music app. Upon selecting either of the four options, the main page displays playlists based on the filter. After scrolling down, users can also find new artists and music pertinent to the filter. According to the screenshots, the selected filter remains docked to the top of the app even while scrolling scroll down the main page. Notably, both YouTube and YouTube Music come with the Explore tab that displays new suggestions.
