YouTube iOS App Updated With New Design, In-App Editing Tools

[MacRumors]

After several months of testing and tweaking, YouTube has finally released the redesigned version of its iOS app, taking cues from its Material Design-inspired Android counterpart. The updated app also comes with in-app video editing tools to make videos.

The redesigned YouTube app makes it easier to find what you love. Now your recommended videos, favorite channels, and subscriptions can be accessed by tapping each icon or swiping your screen. You can also create fun videos on the fly with new in-app editing tools.

The new app is divided into three sections: Home, Subscriptions and Account. Home, like the YouTube web homepage, delivers suggestions and features videos from YouTube accounts that a user may have viewed recently. Subscriptions is a stream of videos from YouTube accounts a user may subscribe to and Account allows you to access History, Likes, the Watch later feature and Playlists.

While the app was updated today, it's slowly propagating through the App Store.

YouTube for iOS is available in the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

And people rated Apple's "Move to iOS" app on the Google Play store 1-star because it didn't follow Android's design guidelines... eek

 

[dustinsc]

Yes, but does it have PIP?

 

[Asarien]

Ugh, that obnoxious neon red bar is atrocious.

 

[MyMacintosh]

Its a no for me

 

[adrianlealmtz]

WHY DO THEY DO THAT!??!!??! THIS IS iOS!!!!!!! NOT ANDROID!!!!!! I hate this!!!!!!!!!!

 

[skwood]

Holy cow this is ugly

 

[danakin]

In my humble opinion, material design is much more pleasing and cohesive than the mess Sir I've has made of iOS.

 

[adrianlealmtz]

Okay.. This is horrible... Don't know why they want to mess up the iOS interface with an Android-inspired design.

 

[TMRJIJ]

They did this ugly redesign but no Picture in Picture support?
Even worse is that I'm Colorblind. All of this crap is brown!!

 

[Noble Actual]

Still better than Apple Music but competing in the **** design category is probably a bad idea Google...

 

[bgraham]

I really like it. Material design looks gorgeous to me and the app was really in need of a redesign...

 

[adammusic]

Ugh, that obnoxious neon red bar is atrocious.

That red top bar is huge & unnecessary. Still no option to auto open to Subscriptions Tab. Still no swipe to delete option in Watch Later.

Terrible pointless update.

 

[skwood]

I dislike the design but even putting that aside. No support for PiP, no support for SlideOver/Side-by-Side and burying playlists and favourites even deeper are all sins I cannot forgive.

 

[StudyFlo]

Luckily, I don't see those aggressive colors, but: No PiP, no Split View - giving it a 1 star rating as well.

Edit: skwood was slightly faster than me, damn it!

 

[Che Castro]

Please tell me they added a volume slider ?

 

[TechGuy1212]

Not a fan. Weird how it came up for me before even updating the app itself.
One thing I hate the most is having to go to channel to then open up Watch Later. For me, less taps = better.
Why can't that be in the red menu bar alongside home, subscriptions and channel? Another cool thing would be to allow you to re-order or disable the channels you've subscribed to to make it potentially more useful.
Wish they would add PiP and for the love of god, the old YouTube app icon was way better!

Protube has pip and split view,3D touch too I think
Give it a try
Not free but at least you won't see ads

 

[clunkmess]

Okay but when can can I picture-in-picture on my iPad?

 

[Spink10]

No split view - no PIP. Go home YouTube.

 

[lagwagon]

Incoming 1 star ratings in retaliation of the 1 star ratings on Move To iOS because it didn't follow Android design.

 

[TMRJIJ]

****! The App Store notification icon showed up. Nope. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not pressing that button. They'll have to force me to update. Screw you Google!!!

Dang same here. I just went to look at it and was old style then all of a sudden after switching channels it was the fire red and the new look! Not seen the update app notification yet.

 

[Ludatyk]

Very odd. There's really no change in the iPad app... only iPhone. Unless I'm missing something.. There's not even landscape view especially for the 6 Plus.

And still no pip. I'm looking at you too Netflix.
