YouTube Music has introduced a convenient new feature that auto-adds songs to the most recent playlist used by the user. Regardless of whether the playlist is new or existing, it will be set as the default destination for subsequent song saves. A notification will appear to inform the user about the playlist to which the song has been added, offering them the option to change it by tapping the ‘Change’ button located at the bottom right of the screen.

This feature has long been available on the main YouTube app, where it remembers the last playlist to which a video was saved and sets it as the default option for future saves. Now, this feature has been incorporated into the YouTube Music apps for both Android and iOS devices.
