New YouTube design changes

In YouTube it seems that they can't quite find the formula to show all their sections and contents as they want. And they are testing design changes constantly. If a week ago we verified that they were introducing a new aspect to hide some options and the description box of the videos, now we know the tests that show a change in the location of the general tabs of the application.

This is not a very subtle change, since it relocates the tab bar and also changes its color. Something that will draw the attention of defenders of Material Design, who will see that the change loses personality in terms of the design of Google , imitating what is seen in the applications of iOS However, this change has its sense of being in terms of comfort. And it is that, when implanted, it will be possible to switch between the different tabs without using both hands.

Until now, it was possible to jump between Top videos, subscriptions, account or tab Home by clicking on the top of the screen. Each tab, colored in red and with a white marker, displayed its contents when tapped on it or when you swipe left and right to jump from one to the other by order.Well, now YouTube makes a 180 degree turn in this approach and brings this bar to the bottom of the screen Of course, it respects the order of the tabs and their functionality. What it doesn't do is keep the background red tone. Instead, he bets on the simplicity of white, returning to a minimalist style and using the red markersto know which tab we are in. Of course, it still keeps the horizontal swipe function anywhere on the screen to jump between the tabs without much problem.

Although the arrival of Android Marshmallow changed many of the applications of Google providing them with a flat color header as in YouTube, it seems that time is over.A new operating system in the making, a new design for applications. At Google they are clear aboutrenew or die and they are committed to the movement, despite that lately we hardly have time to assimilate the changes.

This time the application will lose its visual identity, but it will offer great comfort to users of big screens And they will be able to jump from one place to another without using both hands to reach the top of the screen. A logical change but one that may not end up convincing many.

At the moment we can only wait for these tests of YouTube to reach a good port and decide to launch the novelty to all users. And it is that it is reaching users by droppers, without the need to update the application If all goes well, it is possible that in a few days, when we access YouTube, we run into this change without prior notice.Something that will affect, initially, only the users of devices Android
