YouTube's IOS App Gets Major Face Lift

(RTTNews) - YouTube has released a redesigned version of its app for iOS, which has in-built editing tools and new gesture controls. The app is similar to the YouTube app for Android that was rolled out some months ago.

The app has a completely redesigned interface built with Google's "Material Design" Aesthetic, that was first introduced more than a year ago. Material Design is already featured on YouTube app for Android that was updated several months ago.

The new interface makes it easier to find and discover new content. Recommended videos, favorite channels, and subscriptions can be accessed by tapping each icon or swiping a user's screen. The hamburger menu is not available now.

The main page now has three tabs on top : Home, Subscriptions and Account. The Home tab features videos with recommendations based on a user's watch history and personalized playlists, while Subscriptions will feature the latest videos from a user's subscribed channels.

The Account tab houses a user's playlists, watch history, and the videos uploaded by the user, all in one spot.

The redesigned app has a new set of video creation and in-app editing tools that will enable a video to be edited before uploading. The options include the ability to trim video footage, tint the image with filters, and adding music for a soundtrack.

The latest version of the YouTube app is available now on the iOS App Store for free.
