What to know

  • YouTube Music is rolling out a new 'Consistent volume' feature on Android and iOS.

YouTube Music is introducing a new feature called 'Consistent volume' for both Android and iOS users. This option aims to normalize the audio levels across different tracks, making your listening experience smoother and more balanced.

If you have ever been bothered by sudden jumps in volume when switching between songs, especially those from different genres or production styles, this update addresses that issue directly.

The 'Consistent volume' setting works by automatically adjusting the playback volume so that all tracks play at a similar loudness. This means you will not have to manually change the volume every time a new song starts.

The feature is especially useful if you listen to playlists with a mix of older and newer songs, or tracks that have been mastered at different levels.

To use the new feature, you can simply tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the Now Playing screen. There, you will find the 'Consistent volume' option, which you can toggle on or off without needing to navigate deep into the app's settings. This makes it more convenient to manage your listening preferences while on the go or during active playback.

The rollout of 'Consistent volume' is happening gradually. Some users may already see the option in their YouTube Music app, while others might need to wait a few days for it to appear. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version to access this feature as soon as it becomes available.

This update brings YouTube Music in line with the main YouTube app, which has offered a similar 'stable volume' feature for some time. By introducing volume normalization, YouTube Music aims to enhance the overall listening experience and reduce the need for constant manual adjustments.
