YouTube has introduced a fresh look to its mobile app with several exciting updates aimed at improving the user experience. The platform has revamped its navigation icons, giving them a more modern and streamlined appearance. While the app’s layout remains mostly the same, the update brings noticeable changes to the bottom bar for Android users.
The updated design features four of the five icons with new, thicker outlines and more rounded corners, adding a modern touch. The Home icon now stands out more clearly, while the Shorts icon has gained thicker lines. The Plus icon, which allows users to create content, is now enclosed in a grey circle without an outline, offering a cleaner design. The Subscriptions icon has also been simplified with more rounded edges and a shallower design. However, the You icon remains unchanged in this update.

In addition to the icon redesign, YouTube has revamped its app shortcuts. The Explore option has been removed, and all icons now feature an outline style. Another exciting feature includes a redesigned playback speed box, which offers users more precise control over the speed adjustments. This improvement enhances the overall viewing experience by providing better customization options.
Mini Player Enhancements
YouTube has also made improvements to the video mini player, allowing users to resize and move it around the screen. This update makes it easier to multitask and enjoy videos while navigating other parts of the app.
These updates are part of YouTube’s ongoing efforts to keep the app fresh and user-friendly, ensuring that both casual and power users can navigate the platform with ease and convenience. The new version, YouTube 19.45, is available to Android users and is expected to roll out more features in the coming months.
