YouTube prepares new filters to find more videos from your mobile
It seems that on YouTube they want to put an end to the existing differences between the version for computers and the version for mobile of your video platform. And it is that, when half of the content is consumed from mobile devices, it seems ridiculous to mark differences between one platform and another. Perhaps for this reason they are preparing the introduction of new filters when searching for videos from mobile phones. Something that should make it easier to stumble upon desired content in the same way as through a computer's Internet browser.
Or at least that's what they discovered on the developer forum XDA Developers A regular place for creators of applications where the ins and outs of other tools are also investigated. And this is how it became known what YouTube is simmering, as the latest application update has introduced several lines of code referring to these new filters to find videos. That is, the functions that will allow the user to find one or the other content. However, for now, these lines of code are hidden, without the function showing up anywhere through the application. Which makes us suspect that it is still in testing phase before its activation for all users.
Specifically, these filters refer to the ratings obtained, the relevance of the content and the reproduction counter New concepts that are added to those already present such as searching for a video or a channel, finding 4K or 360-degree videos or even the option to search for according to the date of publication or the duration of the content Something that, as we said, would eliminate one more barrier between YouTube for mobile and YouTube for computers, where these filters were already available.
With these new concepts, users could search for the content that has received the best rating through the likes from other viewers. In the same way, the relevance of the content could be used as the main criterion, beyond other filters that may hide the video that is really being searched for.In addition, the possibility of using the play counter as search criteria can make it easier to find the most popular content of the application. All this in manual, with the user determining the criteria and filters of what he wants to find.
Of course, these new criteria could conflict with YouTube's own lists and content promotions. And the fact is that the user You could search according to the real data of the video platform, and not be content with the featured content by the YouTube team
In any case, we will still have to wait to enjoy these filters on mobile. And it is that, for the moment, they have only been discovered integrated into the latest update, without any known date for their activation As they are already hidden within the code, most likely YouTube will activate it from their servers, without the need for a new update.Something that would happen without warning and at any time.
