YouTube Testing New iPhone-like Bottom Bar on Android

YouTube is testing an iPhone-like bottom bar for Android users, featuring a sleek, streamlined design.

[{"selector":"#anim-340f02ea-0d89-4c98-8e03-51388f584a64 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The new bottom bar may include simplified icons for "Home" and "Subscriptions," improving user experience.

[{"selector":"#anim-a2d545c4-ff3e-4231-b563-2b5345d89e38 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Text labels remain, but the plus button now has a translucent design, showing the background feed.

[{"selector":"#anim-fa443820-27e0-4719-98ba-a04a0a8eee7a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The translucent plus button enhances the Home feed, especially with three-button navigation.

[{"selector":"#anim-f0d2b257-eb73-442d-9d83-2b87f8870892 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The design changes are subtle in the "You" tab, similar to YouTube's Ambient Mode.

[{"selector":"#anim-9b3ffcea-7ce5-4d01-a992-7330ea11fdfb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The mini-player redesign has it no longer docked to the bottom bar.

[{"selector":"#anim-28f66488-bb72-4da1-a054-10031042e909 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The update is in limited testing, so only a few Android users have access.

[{"selector":"#anim-2e4f1d10-ea30-4592-b50f-11c784be709d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

YouTube is also testing a new sleep timer feature for Premium users to conserve battery.

[{"selector":"#anim-ac4d1a8c-fbe2-4044-9e41-f368af48ada6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
