feat (YT Music/`Enable Old Minimized Player`): Enables the Old Swipe To Dismiss Minimized Player
Application
YT Music
Issue
Recently, YouTube Music removed the ability to swipe down on the minimized player to stop playing music in its latest versions. This feature was highly appreciated by users as it provided a convenient and intuitive way to control playback without needing to expand the player or navigate to a different screen. Removing this feature has caused frustration and inconvenience for many users.
Patch
A patch that brings back the swipe down gesture to stop playing music on the minimized player. This feature was widely appreciated and integrated well with the overall user experience. By reinstating this functionality, YouTube Music can enhance user satisfaction, improve ease of use, and align with user expectations.
Motivation
-
Improved User Experience: The swipe down gesture to stop playing music offered a seamless and effortless user experience. It allowed users to quickly and easily pause or stop playback without the need for additional taps or navigating to different screens.
-
Intuitive and Familiar Interaction: The swipe down gesture is a widely recognized and natural action in mobile interfaces. Users have become accustomed to using this gesture for various purposes across different applications. By removing this feature, YouTube Music has deviated from the expected behavior and disrupted the user's muscle memory.
-
Minimized Player Control: The minimized player is designed to provide users with a non-intrusive way to control their music while simultaneously browsing or using other apps. The swipe down gesture to stop playback was a crucial functionality within this context. Users could effortlessly stop music without interrupting their current activity.
-
Accessibility Considerations: The swipe down gesture was especially valuable for users with accessibility needs. It provided a simple and accessible way to pause or stop music without requiring precise tapping or navigation. Removing this feature limits the accessibility options for such users.

Hello?
I can swipe down just fine. The feature hasn't been removed.
May I ask which version you're using?
That's very old. I'm talking about the latest versions though I didn't mention any. Please try 6.10.51
It's removed in the latest versions starting from 6.08+, or at least that's from when I noticed that it's removed. Please consider this as a valid issue.
Not for me and I tested it across multiple devices before opening this issue.
"This down gesture was presumably removed to not interfere with swiping for next/back, and the initial reaction is mostly negative since there’s no other way to clear your queue now besides starting a new song.
Additionally for users that don’t Cast very often, the new shortcut will go unused, especially since it also exists in the top-right corner of the app."
Quoted from 9to5Google
Since this is a recent change, wait a couple of weeks. Depending on user feedback, they might bring it back.
That article was from May. The app rollout with this feature is from July. And this change is there in the latest versions.
I don't think this is an A/B testing anymore and they have decided to rollout this feature widely.
ym extended has already have this feature just use youtube music extended 👍🏼
Yep, I got this redesign too and would be happy to be able to swipe down to clear music again. Was a good feature
