Apple Music for Android version 3.4 during beta testing via Android Police

Version 3.4 of Apple Music for Android has also gained a crossfade feature. When enabled through the app's playback settings, songs will overlap and crossfade, with users able to set a crossfade duration of up to 12 seconds. Interestingly, this feature is not available in Apple Music on the iPhone or iPad, although it is an option in the Music app on Mac.

According to the Play Store release notes, Apple Music for Android has also gained sharing to Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat Stories, as well as improved app performance. There's also a security patch, according to an Apple support document.

Crossfade first on Android, it's like Google adding new features first to iOS rather their own platform.

Are there any numbers on how many people actually use Apple Music on Android devices? Most people I know with Android phones actively dislike Apple products and services...
the primary device in my car is Android. I do that because there are some apps I like that are only on Android. Also, I don't feel bad leaving it in the car all the time, who's going to take it.
