YouTube’s TV revamp could boost big screen loyalty

The news: YouTube is rolling out new features for its YouTube app, TV, Music, and Kids users.

Original YouTube updates:

  • Song Search, which can help users find and identify songs by humming or singing part of the words, is available on YouTube and YouTube Music on Android devices.
  • Users will soon be able to make voice replies to comments, a feature that started testing in December. They can also set sleep timers, long-press anywhere to activate 2x speed, and lock their screens to avoid interruptions from notifications.
