YouTube removing 'Subscriptions' bottom bar tab on Android, iOS
9to5Google • • general
Key Points:
- YouTube is redesigning its Android and iOS apps by moving the Subscriptions tab from the bottom bar to the top bar on the Home tab, marking a significant change after nearly a decade.
- The new top bar will feature dedicated feeds for Subscriptions, Live, Music, and Movies & TV (the latter appears only if users have active subscriptions), eliminating the need for YouTube’s navigation drawer.
- YouTube is introducing custom feeds that allow users to create personalized content streams by describing topics or vibes they want to see, with these feeds appearing as tabs alongside Home and Subscriptions.
- Free users can save up to three custom feeds, while YouTube Premium members can save up to eight; this feature is initially available to English-speaking, signed-in users in the U.S. on mobile and desktop, with plans for wider rollout.
