Unlike the earlier Listen Again feature, which presented songs in a list or card format, requiring multiple swipes to access additional tracks, Speed Dial simplified the interface. It showcases more songs on a single screen, allowing for easier navigation.

Currently, the Speed Dial feature is available globally on the YouTube Music app for both Android and iOS devices. However, Google has not provided information regarding its availability on the web version of the service.
