Finally! YouTube launches a long-awaited feature for users

Technology is increasingly present in Youtubebringing innovations that promise to change the way we interact with the platform. YouTube Premium users in the US can now create personalized playlists with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). The feature, which is still in testing, allows you to create a playlist that describes exactly what you want to hear.

Additionally, YouTube has expanded its “hum to search” system, which allows you to identify songs just by humming a section. This feature, previously exclusive to Android, is now available on iOS.

Simply tap the magnifying glass and select the sound wave icon, hum or play a snippet of an instrument.

AI allows users to describe exactly what type of music they want to hear. In other words, it does this through specific prompts that help the AI ​​understand the user’s preferences. For example, if you like “catchy pop hooks,” the AI ​​will pick songs that match that description.

This feature is currently in testing and is only available to Premium subscribers in the US. However, it is expected to be rolled out to more users and countries soon. This innovation puts YouTube on par with Spotify, which already uses AI to create personalized playlists.

hum for research

Another feature being expanded on YouTube is “hum to search.” Now available for iOS, this system lets you identify songs simply by humming or playing a snippet of them on an instrument.

So, to use, simply tap on the magnifying glass and select the sound wave icon. Then hum a tune or play an instrument, and the AI ​​will recognize the song.

This system has been tested for Android users since the beginning of the year and is now available for iOS devices. This feature is a big step towards making song recognition easier, especially for people who can’t remember the lyrics or the title.

Skip parts of videos: Another new feature from YouTube

Another interesting new feature is an AI technology that lets you skip parts of videos. YouTube Premium users in the US can now use this feature, making it easier to skip ahead to the most “interesting” parts of a video. In other words, the “next” button appears when you double-tap on the screen and uses your viewing data to determine which parts of the video you liked the least.

This technology is available in the Android app and will be launched on the iPhone soon. However, not all videos will have this feature, Google explained.
