YouTube's design updates: A fresh look and improved user experience

YouTube is getting a design refresh across mobile, web, and TV platforms with the aim to "simplify" the platform. The updated bottom bar features tweaked icons for Home, 'plus' menu, Subscriptions, and You, along with a frosted glass effect for both top and bottom navigation bars on mobile and web. Other changes include new pops of pink color, improved landscape mode on mobile with larger thumbnails and text, and responsive design. TV experiences will have subtle touches for a more cinematic feel, including immersive channel pages that auto-play a Creator-selected video for teaser purposes.
