Again in July, Google began rolling out a brand new floating picture-in-picture (PiP) mini-player. The brand new design had the mini-player bouncing between the corners of the display. It changed the stationary mini-player that used to seem simply above the underside bar within the app.

Some folks favored the brand new design, nevertheless it appears the vast majority of customers weren’t happy with it. It was larger than the previous design, it was distracting, and for a lot of, it additionally was filled with glitches.

In case you had been one of many individuals who disliked this variation, you would be delighted to be taught that Google has heard you. The corporate is now rolling again the adjustments and restoring the previous mini-player, which was extra easy and took much less area.

YouTube has been testing fairly a number of issues not too long ago and similar to the brand new PiP window, not all of them are met with pleasure.

One related characteristic that YouTube is engaged on (it is nonetheless not formally rolled out although, simply being examined in the meanwhile) is a TikTok-like swipe-up gesture that strikes you to the following video. The change appears counterintuitive as a result of usually, swiping up from full-screen is used to exit full-screen, to not go to the following video.

I am actually comfortable to seek out out that Google has listened to folks’s complaints concerning the mini-player. All in all, updates exist to make apps higher and provides extra performance, and to not smash one thing that labored completely wonderful and was ok as is.
