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).

All subscription tiers will be facing a price increase and some tiers will see a higher price hike while other plans may not be as drastically hit. YouTube Premium India has already reflected the new prices on its platform. The prepaid and other timed interval plans have been updated.

YouTube Premium India: Updated Prices

The Family Plan is the tier with the highest increase among all other tiers. The Family Plan has increased from Rs 189 to Rs 299 monthly showing a drastic hike in price. Furthermore, the Individual Plan priced at Rs 129 per month has increased to Rs 149 monthly.

Prepaid plans have also been updated with an increase from Rs 139 to Rs 159 per month. The six-month prepaid plan has increased to Rs 459 from Rs 399. Lastly, the yearly prepaid plan will now be priced at Rs 1490. This marks a Rs 200 hike from the older price of Rs 1290.

The Student Plan has also been affected by this price hike. However, it is the most affordable option compared to the rest of the tiers. The Student Plan has been priced at Rs 89 from Rs 79 which is only a Rs 10 difference.

YouTube has also increased the prices of YouTube Music as the Individual Plan which used to cost Rs 99 per month now costs Rs 199. However, if people are already subscribed to YouTube Premium India, they will be receiving YouTube Music as a part of the Premium bundle.

Search Sound Features:

This feature allows users to find specific sounds by either humming the tune or singing a part of the song. The feature is somewhat similar to other music-finding apps such as Shazam and YouTube Music. This feature stands out from the rest of the music identification apps as users can sing or hum the tune or part of the song. Meanwhile, users have to play a part of the song in Shazam for the app to work. Additionally, TikTok also presents users with videos that have used the song.

However, there have been some drawbacks with the new TikTok feature. The feature has been documented to be less effective for songs that are not as trendy. Songs that have not been used much in trending videos seem to get less recognised.

TikTok has further stated that the feature is only meant to discover songs but independent tests suggest that the tool can also pick up some popular TikTok sounds and memes.

Selected users can access this feature by clicking on the mic button and choosing the Sound Search option.
