TL;DR

• Google updated the Now Playing app with subtle interface tweaks.
• It’s also moving closer to restoring Now Playing notifications, which it removed earlier this year.
• We have spotted Now Playing’s upcoming support for secondary user accounts on Pixel devices.
• Beyond that, a sync feature for Now Playing history is in the works.

Now Playing is a Pixel-exclusive feature with few haters, but Google managed to rile up users when it refashioned it as a separate app this March. The supposed upgrade broke key functionality for users, including the ability to sync tracks with third-party services like Last.fm.

Now the app is getting a new update with certain functionality tweaks — and the bigger promise of getting lost features back.
