This is not a new addition to YouTube for Android. A few years ago, this feature was already there on the YouTube app though it was later revoked. Now, the premier video sharing platform is bringing back the option once again.

The update regarding the matter comes from an APK teardown done by the XDA. They noticed some strings within the app code indicating such a feature will be added soon.

Confirming that some users have shared that they already see an option Listen With YouTube Music in the YouTube video player settings button.

To use this feature you have to install the latest beta build of YouTube for Android which goes by version 17.05.33.
