This is the new YouTube configuration menu
In the different services of Google there is no week without changes. And it is that mobile applications are in constant evolution, looking for visual improvements, ofexperience of use and quality constantly. Something that YouTube tastes good. Now, users who want to change the quality of their videos or view content through their Virtual Reality glasses , you will find a slightly different menu.A change that affects the design of the mobile app and has already been implemented global
This is the settings menu that can be accessed from the different YouTube videos by clicking on the three points That place that contains the options to change the quality of the video, activate or deactivate the possible subtÃtulos, report inappropriate content for the platform or activate viewing through some Google Virtual Reality glasses, known as Cardboard Well, their icons and layoutthey change without remedy and without the user being able to avoid it in any way to order themselves as a menu to use.
In this way, the different sections of Settings will no longer be represented by large icons that appear in the middle of the screen.Now, they will do so through a small drop-down menu that appears from the bottom of the panel Something that prevents these sections from dirtying or hindering video playback. Thus, the content will continue playing without pausing, while it is possible to manage all these settings.
The icons are now really icons, occupying a much smaller part compared to the previous version, although without detracting from the quality or the current user experience. And it is that they are still well recognizable and just as useful. The difference is that they are now arranged like any other application, in a comfortable and legible drop-down menuAll this while the rest of the screen remains in the background, darkened to draw the user's attention to said menu.
As a curious fact, it should be noted that this new menu also modifies the order of the options that previously appeared on the screen when clicking on the three dots to access this menu. Originally, from left to right, it was possible to access the sub titles, quality, report a video or access the Virtual Reality mode Now, from top to bottom, it is possible to notify a video (report), change its quality, activate the sub titles and, finally, see Cardboard or the Google Virtual Reality glasses Details that the company always studies to improve the use of its applications.
Now, users who preferred the previous design have nothing to do this time. And it is that the renewed menu has reached YouTube through an update through the system serverThat is, without having to download the application update.Something that makes it impossible revert the change or keep the old design without updating the application So, we will have to learn to use this new menu without encountering the big icons on the screen. Renewed or die.
