Starting with YouTube, we must speak of a remarkable visual redesign. And, compared to its previous version, the new update with Material Design changes both the colors and the ways in which the user moves through the application. Although it is not a radically different application, its user experience becomes more visually pleasing. A harder, darker reddish tone, fewer lines to divide the different menus and sections, and animationsseveral when deploying or accessing other places in the application. All this with a great cleaning when it comes to showing the videos on a white background in the most minimalist way.But there is more.
Along with this issue, the new version of YouTube also features a new search tool. These are filters that allow the user to specify the concepts much more and thus achieve more similar results. Simply click on the icon of the lupa and perform a search to use. When presenting the results, in the upper right corner, a new icon appears with three lines of different lengths If clicked on it, a pop-up window appears with options such as the type of content being searched for (channels or videos), the upload date, the duration, which is contained in 3D, as HD or that has sub titles, among other issues. Options that help to find much more specific content for the user.
