navigating from a song to an album

I used to be able to navigate to a song's album from the song itself, but that appears to be broken (or the feature was inexplicably deprecated).


In Apple Music for Android, while a song was playing, I could tap on the three dots to bring up the track details (the same screen where you could like or dislike the song) and it would list the track title, the artist name, and the album name. I could then tap on the album name on that screen, and the app would present the album view.


Often, you can also swipe down from the track view to get the album view, but a lot of the time, I'm finding that swiping down often just presents the library. When this happens, the alternate path to the album was very helpful. But now that album name is untappable. And when the track view seems to lose its quick navigation to the album, the only recourse is to then do a manual search for the album. Very inconvenient.


It's even more annoying when you're listening to a playlist from songs from lots of albums and you get the urge to go explore the album a song was from.


Did they move the navigation from song to album to some other gesture that I can't figure out? Or did this truly break (and are there plans to fix it)?


EDIT: This issue is for Apple Music on ANDROID. For some reason, the list of *many* devices and numerous topics appears to indicate that Apple forgot this product even existed! I can't select my device or find the real topic. I hope the right audience still finds this.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Can someone please answer the question above? It seems that with the current update, we are no longer able to go from a song to the album or artist it comes from. This was a very helpful feature that I used almost every day:


Search a song, click on the song or artist, and be given the option to go to the album or go to artist. This is how I have branched out musically and expanded my collection.


what happened?! Note: I’m using iPhone
