YouTube has announced a range of updates, based on user feedback, which include various smaller tweaks and refinements that'll ideally help to enhance the user experience.
And there are a lot. To make it easier, here's a simplified listing of what's coming to your YouTube app and YouTube TV experience in the near future.
In addition to these updates, YouTube's also rolling out a range of new visual improvements across the YouTube app, while it's also enhancing the YouTube TV experience, including an updated Shorts UI, which will make it easier to interact with Shorts, and engage with the comments.
The changes are part of YouTube's annual refresh, in which it implements range of tweaks and tests that it's been working on, generally for several months. As such, you may have already seen some of these elements in testing (especially if you're a Premium subscriber), but now, YouTube's moving to the next stage with these specific elements.
Will that have a big impact on your YouTube experience? Well, I'd say no, as none of these are major changes. But they are helpful, and they'll be very welcome for certain users in certain contexts.
