A standalone YouTube Music app is here
YouTube Music is the music streaming service owned by Google and YouTube . From it you can access a multitude of songs, as well as being able to watch all YouTube videos without ads thanks to YouTube Premium.
This service, for some reason, hasn't gotten too many fans. But in a completely unexpected move, Google has decided to bring its music streaming service to the Apple Watch, through a fully functional application.
The YouTube Music app for Apple Watch will be able to work without the need for an iPhone nearby
The application of YouTube Music on the Apple Watch allows us to see our music collection, explore it, choose songs or albums or lists playback, and control playback on other devices. Pretty similar to what most streaming music apps do on the Watch.
The app running on the Apple Watch
The functions offered by the Youtube Music app for the Apple Watch currently do not allow you to play music without having the iPhone close. In other words, unlike AppleMusic, we will not be able to use the Watch LTE to listen to music without being connected to the iPhone
Yes, to make use of the application, unlike in the iPhone and as it happens with the rest of the subscription services that have their app in theApple Watch, subscription to YouTube Music or Premium is required.The prices of these subscriptions are 9.99€ and 11.99€ per month, respectively.
How the app works
As we can see, more and more streaming services make their own independent apps available to the Apple Watch, in addition to Apple Music.Although it is true that most, for the moment, do not allow independent playback of the iPhone. Of course, a failure by not implementing a function that, without a doubt, would make them gain subscribers.
