What’s YouTube getting today and in the future
- New cleaner design: App header has gone white and navigation tabs have been to the bottom. Library and Account tabs have been also added for quick access.
- Watch at your own pace: Now, speed up and slow down the playback of a video. This has been available in desktop for sometime now.
- Responsive video player: Soon, the YouTube player will seamlessly change shape to match the video format you’re watching, such as vertical, square or horizontal.
- New gesture for navigation: In the coming months, jump between videos with a simple swipe of your hand: just swipe left to watch a previous video or swipe right to watch the next one.
- Browse and discover while you watch: Expect changes to the area below the player for more ways to browse YouTube videos in the future.
