- YouTube Music has released its annual music Recap feature.
- You can create a musical album by connecting your Google Photos with the top songs.
- YouTube Music’s Recap for 2024 is still rolling out and some users have already received it.
YouTube Music has released its annual music recap feature but with a twist. We received the feature on our old iPhone 12 Mini. Yes, we are still rocking it. Recap is basically a way to discover your top songs, albums, and artists you follow and listen to throughout the year. It’s a great way to rediscover your favorite tracks and gain some useful insights into your listening habits.
However, this year’s YouTube Music Recap taps into Google Photos and uses some nifty tricks to spice things up. There is an option to connect your Google Photos app below and create your magical musical album. Sounds fun? Here is how it works.
Open the YouTube Music app on your iPhone or Android phone. No need to update the app or anything. You will see a full-screen pop-up if your Recap is here. Again, the feature is still rolling out. Tap on Let’s do this button at the bottom.
You will see two options here. One is Get your Recap which will take you through your favorite songs, artists, and albums. Right below, you will see a Connect to Google Photos box. This feature is optional. Tap on Connect to see how Google is using AI (Gemini) in new and interesting ways.
The Musical Photo album should appear immediately. If it doesn’t, simply pull down the screen to refresh it. YouTube Music created three musical albums for us by default. But there is an option to manage photos and you can swap photos from the musical album if you want. Note that there is no manual control. Tapping on the Swap Photos option will automatically update the images.
Once the musical albums are created, you will see options to share and download them.
