Google-owned video streaming platform YouTube is rolling out a new interface for its Android and iOS mobile apps full screen player. The new interface makes it easier for users to Like, Dislike, Comment on a vide, and share it. The new interface brings buttons for all these controls right on the video and users don’t need to swipe up or close the full-screen window to share, like, dislike a video, and do more things with it.
The new change only shows up when users are watching a video in full screen. Apart from this, there is no change or update to the overall YouTube app on either Android or iOS. The new update also makes it easier for users to see the comments section alongside the video while in landscape mode. Before the update, users needed to tap on the comments section to access comments or minimise the video to open it up. Now, users can switch to full-screen mode and pull them up by tapping the comment button.
