Summary

Story summary

YouTube Music now syncs the Now Playing queue across signed-in devices, so the last song played appears in the miniplayer on any device.
Previously, Android and iOS queues operated independently.
The update temporarily displays the playback source, such as “From your iPhone” or “From your browser.”
The update is generally viewed as a positive improvement for YouTube Music users, though some would like a setting to control sync preferences.
