You all know YouTube Music, YouTube’s platform, which is jealous of Spotify’s success. YouTube Music is very popular with its many features, allowing you to listen to songs that are not on Spotify offline if you use YouTube Premium.
However, apart from this, there are some more unknown features that you can get a little angry when you hear about it. Because YouTube Music collects your location information. But it won’t collect anymore, so don’t get too angry. So why did YouTube Music collect location information and why will it stop collecting now?
YouTube Music suggested playlist based on your location
YouTube Music was collecting your location information to suggest playlists you might want to listen to in your location. For example, if you were at the gym, you were offered a suitable playlist, and if you were at work, a suitable playlist was offered.
However, YouTube Music’s approach will end on Monday, September 26, and all location-based playlist suggestions, location settings, and app permissions will be removed. In addition, location data collected to date will also be deleted. The reason for abandoning this approach is of course, as you can imagine, the violation of privacy.
However, YouTube Music will continue to personalize your music experience based on your approximate location. The app will suggest playlists related to the weather in your city (e.g. rainy day) along with data from Google. What are you thinking?
