YouTube is about to get a visual update that brings the desktop version closer to the mobile version. Yep you heard that right, the mobile experience is now leading the way for the future of YouTube.
These are subtle changes, but the first thing you will notice is that everything is shifting over to be center-aligned, like the app. Tabs like “What to Watch” and “My Subscriptions” will become slightly more prominent, with links to both at the top-center of your page. Also, check out that little guide icon to the right of the YouTube logo. That’ll be your ever-present shortcut for getting to your subscriptions, playlists, and other favorite stuff.
YouTube is also placing a heavier emphasis on playlists. Your guide will now feature all of the playlists that you’ve personally created, but also playlists from other channels that you’ve liked. There’s also going to be an improved playlist editor page which should make tweaking the lists you’ve made easier.
While making full-sized sites more like their mobile equivalents may seem weird on the surface, it actually makes a lot of sense. According to YouTube, people are spending almost half their YouTube time within the mobile app.
The changes may take a few hours or days to roll out to all users everywhere. Are you eager to try out the new tweaks, or is this something you’d never even notice?
