YouTube Music launched an "activity" bar in 2020 featuring mood filters. Now the video-sharing app is undergoing the most extensive expansion to date with the introduction of five new additions.
Take a look at the latest mood filters by YouTube:
Cry
Romance
Party (translation)
To Sleep
To Feel Good
Similar to the existing filters such as Commute, Energize, Focus, and Workout, including Podcasts, choosing will display Listen again, Mixed for you, Similar to carousels, and From your library.
Now it is interesting to see the difference between Sleep and Relax, while Cry evidently seems to be named to offer a playlist for ‘Sad Songs’.
Back in 2021, Energize was added and became the most recent addition introduced earlier this year. With this expansion, the top carousel now features 11 chips, potentially challenging the user interface of YouTube Music. However, it's important to note that the basic YouTube app too has numerous topics and filters that dynamically modify the Home feed.
These five new additions are beginning to surface on the web client and mobile apps but still have not been fully rolled out to all users.
