Before WWDC, perhaps Apple users can use the beta version of the Play Store app to learn about Apple’s possible update direction for its own services (hey, yes, it’s the Android system XD). This time, it’s the turn of their streaming music service Apple Music. In the 3.10 Beta version, it seems that new features have been tested before the iOS version (should).

Apple Music for Android is the first to bring a built-in countdown timer
In order to allow Apple Music’s music content to serve more friends on mobile systems, Apple ported its own music streaming service to the Android system in 2020, and has subsequently followed up with the iOS Apple Music app to include sound effect support for Hi-Res Lossless sound quality and spatial audio. Recently, the widget has been adjusted so that the Android version can also enjoy the experience of seamlessly switching between iOS and listening to this subscription music service at will.
Interestingly, with the Google Play Store app store’s beta version update for Apple Music on Android. Some foreign media discovered that this new version not only has some new features that have not been seen on iOS, but also analyzes music service functions that Apple may introduce in the future through APK analysis.
This feature will be found under the “…” in the upper right corner of the Apple Music app. You will be able to use the “Sleep Timer” sleep countdown to set the time you want the music to automatically stop. It can also use conditional expressions, such as “until the current song stops (When Current Song Ends)” and “until the current playlist ends (When Current Playlist Ends)”.
Seriously, although the time countdown is in iOS, it can also be achieved through the countdown timer provided by the system clock. However, for iPhone users, there is no possibility to use “until the current song stops” and “until the current playlist ends”. What’s more, 9to5Google discovered that this feature seems to have hidden functions in the APK code that can support “When Current Show Ends” and “When Current Episode Ends” for programs such as Apple Music 1 or radio.
To some extent, it means that maybe Apple will bring similar thoughtful functions to the Apple Music app synchronization next for the iOS system. I wonder if everyone is looking forward to such a function? If you want to try it, you can also useJoin the Play Store Beta ProgramApply to become a member of the beta program.
