The video hosting service YouTube continues to improve its mobile app.

Here's What We Know

The latest news concerns the design of the mini-player, which now looks more like a picture-in-picture mode. This innovation allows users to watch videos and perform other actions on their smartphones at the same time.



Thanks to the updated design, the mini-player has become more flexible and convenient to use. Users can resize the playback window and move it around the screen. The playback and fast forward buttons are intuitively arranged and have an adaptive colour depending on the overall interface theme.

The background for the controls is either white or dark, depending on the theme.

Key features of the new design:

  • Resize the playback window
  • Move the window around the screen
  • Intuitive controls
