YouTube Music is making small changes, updating the design of the three overflow menus to match the look of the main YouTube app.
Instead of an overflow menu that spans the entire width of the screen, it’s now a floating panel with rounded corners throughout. It’s not the most obvious change, as YTM’s background is quite dark. The cast menu has also been updated.
This applies to all three dots in the app, but the dots you share on Android still use the old style. (It has already been updated on iOS.)
There is no change to how the overflow menu is organized. This design modernizes things and improves the look of predicted backs. This menu is updated in version 7.24 of YouTube Music for Android and iOS.

In other design changes, a few weeks ago we updated the “Connect to” on the Now Playing screen. [Cast device]” button over the cover art to drop a multi-colored glow effect. This black and white look is less distracting.
Meanwhile, YouTube announced a number of design updates to its main app earlier this month, including a bottom bar with revised icons and a frosted glass effect. It’s unclear how many of these changes will be reflected in YouTube Music. The new home feed icon is a very simple adjustment, but the translucent bottom bar probably won’t happen in YTM unless the miniplayer is also updated. Meanwhile, the YouTube Music web app introduced a pink/magenta progress bar for the first time.
