This collaboration between Apple and Google makes the process of switching between its streaming platforms smoother and hassle-free. This feature is only available for those with an Apple Music, iTunes or YouTube Music subscription. It should be noted that this feature is only possible for Apple and YouTube music streaming platforms so Spotify users are left out of the fun.

However, there are certain limitations with these features as users can only transfer playlists that they have created. This means that playlists curated by other users cannot be moved. Moreover, music files that have been uploaded are also excluded from this feature capability. Audiobooks and podcasts cannot be moved between Apple and YouTube music streaming services as well.

Apple Music and YouTube Music Cross-Transfer: How to get started

To move their playlists, users will first have to go to the Apple Data and Privacy page and sign with their Apple ID. Users will then have to click on ‘Transfer a Copy of Your Data’ after which, users sign into their accounts on YouTube Music to finish the transfer process. When the transfer is undergoing, Apple will send an email notifying the users with the emails linked with their Apple ID. After the transfer of playlists has been completed, Apple will send a confirmation email to the users.

This is not Apple and Google’s first-ever collaboration as both companies have also worked together before. The two tech giants collaborated previously to transfer photos between Google Photos and iCloud Photos. This transfer was done through DTI (Data Transfer Initiative).
