GoKawiilApple Music 7.0 beta brings redesigned artist pages to Android
Apple has released version 7.0 of its Apple Music beta for Android, introducing a new floating, translucent navigation bar and redesigned artist pages with large artwork. The update also moves artist bios behind a single tap on an 'i' icon next to the play button, rather than requiring users to scroll to the bottom of the page. The changes were first spotted by user Sumanta Das on X and confirmed by Android Authority through the beta program.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The redesign suggests Apple is working to close the visual gap between its Android and iOS apps, which have long differed in polish despite offering the same service. Bringing Liquid Glass-style elements to Android could signal a broader push to make Apple's software feel consistent across platforms it doesn't control, though it's unclear how quickly these changes will reach all users.
