YouTube Ditches ‘Guest’ Profile on TV Apps, Keeps ‘Use Signed Out’ Mode
YouTube is phasing out the 'Guest' profile on TV apps, but a 'use signed out' option remains, effectively保留了访客模式的功能。
YouTube Removing ‘Guest’ Profile from TV Apps, but the Mode Is Still There
- Change in Guest Profile: YouTube is removing the 'Guest' profile from its TV apps on platforms like Apple TV and Roku. This change started rolling out about two weeks ago.
- Visual Change Only: While the 'Guest' profile option is no longer visible, users can still use the app without signing in via a 'Use Signed Out' button. When using this feature, the app indicates it is 'switching to guest mode,' and account details are retained when you sign back in.
- Possible Reasoning: The change aligns with Google's strategy to encourage YouTube viewers to use accounts and maintain watch history. In 2023, YouTube stopped showing recommendations for users without watch history, even if they were signed in.
- Additional Features: Other recent updates include the availability of a 4x playback speed for Premium subscribers and fixes for sign-in issues on Amazon Fire TV devices.
