YouTube launched a new interface for smartphones: User reaction was ambiguous

To spread: YouTube has launched a new user interface that has already appeared on some mobile phones. So far, thoughts have been divided - someone welcomes the innovation, and someone considers them absolutely inconvenient. The changes touched the image of the channel profile, the name of the channel, the name of the video and some buttons, writes Androidauthority. com. The new interface has also been launched for short videos in Shorts.

In the new interface, experts have counted several important differences. For example, now the video name has shifted to the right to free up space for a profile (which, in turn, has become larger). The name of the channel was replaced by username - for example, if the channel was called Jet Lag: The Game, it is now renamed @jetlagthegame. The buttons under the player were still moved.

You will no longer see the message bell in the usual place above the carousel of other buttons, because it "rolled" to the beginning of the carousel. The text from these YouTube buttons deleted, and only the badges were left - which caused complaints. The new Shorts interface has caused even more dissatisfaction. Users believe that the buttons upgrade did not benefit him because now the buttons have become too small. Earlier, Focus wrote about how to watch YouTube Premium for free.
