How YouTube Updates UI With New Video Player Interface For Android And iOS

Most of the features were earlier hidden behind a swipe-up gesture on the “more videos” section, but the new update now puts them front and middle, in the process relegating related videos to a button in the corner the feature change is effective only when a user is watching a YouTube video  as users won’t be able to notice the change while watching a video in portrait format. But users may be more accustomed to the portrait mode as it affords them easy access to share buttons and other controls, a visible upside of the new feature coming only in full-screen mode the new interface allows easy access to the mode that allows viewers seen comments side by side with the video while in landscape. Viewers have to  tap on the comment section while in portrait mode to open it up, before it can be switched into full-screen mode, but the new interface affords them the opportunity of pulling them up by tapping the comment button the new interface allows easy access to the mode that allows viewers seen comments side by side with the video while in landscape. Viewers have to  tap on the comment section while in portrait mode to open it up, before it can be switched into full-screen mode, but the new interface affords them the opportunity of pulling them up by tapping the comment button
