YouTube Music now syncs your queue across Android, iOS, & web

The YouTube Music queue will now sync between your signed-in devices to let you seamlessly continue listening.

The Now Playing queue on Android and iOS was previously independent, though music.youtube.com was able to pull from mobile

You’ll now see the last song you played on any device in the miniplayer when opening the mobile apps. “From your iPhone” or “From your browser” temporarily replaces the artist information until you start playback. 

Your queues are simply kept in sync, with YouTube Music appearing to prioritize the last play session (on any device) to update/override existing queues.

This is handy if you have a tablet alongside your phone or are a heavy user of YouTube Music on the web. A setting to control sync might be nice if your listening habits are device-dependent, but this is otherwise a good quality-of-life improvement.
