Apple Music 7.0 Gives Android a Liquid Glass Makeover

Apple Music 7.0 Gives Android a Liquid Glass Makeover

Stable rollout follows a month of beta testing

Apple Music 7.0 for Android is now rolling out widely, about a month after the redesign first appeared in beta on September 30. The stable release began reaching users on October 30 through the Google Play Store, with beta testers getting it first.

New icon drops the red background

The update starts with a new app icon: a music note in black or white that follows the device theme, replacing the long-standing red background. The accent color across the app changes from red to blue to match.

Floating translucent bar anchors the new look

The most visible change is a rounded, floating bottom navigation bar with a light Liquid Glass translucency, so content shows through as you scroll. The mini-player floats on its own instead of being pinned to the bottom toolbar. The layout goes edge to edge across the status and navigation bars. Top bars are cleaner too: the page title and three-dot overflow menu share one line, and the three-dot buttons now sit in circular containers with no red styling.

Artist pages get full-page artwork and one-tap bios

Artist pages are thoroughly rebuilt with full-page artwork and backgrounds themed on the artist's cover image. A larger Play button sits front and center, an "i" button next to it opens the artist biography directly, and Share moves to the top-right corner. Artist-curated highlights bring the pages closer to the iOS design. The Settings page gets better grouping as well.

Library deletion finally stops eating playlists

The most practical behavior change is in library control: removing a song from your Library no longer removes it from your playlists. The Library tab folds "Edit Pins" and "Edit Categories" into the overflow menu. One thing missing: there is still no AutoMix support on Android, with crossfade remaining the default.

Android users catch up as the rollout widens

The update matters most to Apple Music subscribers on Android, who get an interface that finally looks native to Apple's current design language. Since the rollout is staged, some users may wait days to see it. The next things to watch are how fast the staged release completes and whether iOS-only audio features like AutoMix eventually cross over. In short, version 7.0 brings Android users the same Liquid Glass redesign, floating navigation, rebuilt artist pages, and safer library controls, with the staged rollout reaching more devices over the coming days.
