Say hello to the redesigned YouTube mobile app
Thursday, 23 July 2015
If you watched a YouTube video recently, chances are you did it on your phone or tablet. That’s because today, more than half the views on YouTube happen using mobile devices. So to bring you an even better mobile experience, we’re updating the official YouTube apps – making it easier than ever to find videos you love and create them, too.
The update – available now on Android, mobile web, and soon on iOS – introduces three new tabs:
Home
: Easily explore and discover videos you'll love with recommendations based on your watch history as well as playlists personalized just for you.
Subscriptions
: Find the latest videos from your favorite channels and creators on the new Subscriptions tab. And to help make sure you never miss an upload, you can now tap the bell icon on the channels you love to get a notification as soon as a new video is posted.
Account
: Check out your playlists, watch history, and the videos you’ve uploaded all in one spot.
You can also now watch full-screen vertical videos with just a single tap for the very first time.
But YouTube isn’t just about enjoying videos; it’s a place to express yourself and show the world what you love. With the redesigned app you can take your creativity to new levels using a new set of video creation tools. You’ve got an amazing camera in your phone or tablet, and now you can trim your footage, tint the image with filters, add music, and upload – all inside the app.
These are just a few of the features we’ve been working on, and you’ll see many more later this year.

Play on, player, with the updated YouTube apps for Android and iOS
Tuesday, 20 August 2013
Ever wanted your YouTube mobile app to just keep on playing? Have your video play while you look for the next one, or put on a playlist and kick back? Now you have even more ways to watch the videos and channels you love with the latest YouTube apps
for Android
and
for iOS
.
More YouTube in your YouTube apps
With the swipe of a finger, you can watch a video at the bottom of your screen while you keep exploring. Think about it this way--you can watch a video about making the perfect
fried chicken
while searching for homemade
salted caramel sauce
recipes. You can always go back to full screen with a swipe up so you never lose your place, or swipe right or left to dismiss the video. Just try to not drop your phone in the sauce.
Play ALL the videos!!!
Want to sit back and watch all of Epic Rap Battles
Season 2
? You can now search and browse channels for playlists on mobile apps, and watch great collections of back-to-back videos. Finally, you and your friends can decide if Season 2 is better than
Season 1
.
Your connected TV can be your personal YouTube Jumbotron
The Cast button on YouTube already lets you send YouTube videos from your phone or tablet to your connected TV, like on
Chromecast
,
Google TV
,
PlayStation 3
and other TVs. To make it easier to choose what to watch next, you’ll see a preview screen when your devices are connected and you select a video, with options to play the video to queue it up to watch next.
To wrap it all together we gave the updated YouTube apps a cleaner, simpler look that you’ll see in other apps from Google.
