While this feature is a welcome addition to YouTube Music, there are a few limitations to note. The live lyrics feature is currently available on Android and iOS platforms only, and not all songs have access to the tool. Additionally, the feature works locally on the device and is not yet available across all devices or platforms like Spotify’s offering.
This addition is part of Google’s effort to enhance YouTube Music and compete with other music streaming platforms. YouTube Music has been gradually evolving since it replaced Google Play Music, and the introduction of features like live lyrics shows Google’s commitment to improving the user experience and offering features that are in line with industry standards.
