Google has started rolling out a major redesign of the YouTube application for tvOS. This update brings the latest YouTube interface that Google uses on other platforms to Apple's streaming box.
Google first started rolling out the base of this new interface to Google TV in November 2019. In March of the following year, the company made some additional tweaks to the interface that included new borders, darker backgrounds, and other aesthetic changes. This new design is now finally rolling out to Apple TV users around the world.
Youtube for tvOS: Update is slowly being rolled out
It is a pretty noticeable update compared to the previous Apple TV interface, bringing a more modern and less boxy overall design. The YouTube app for Apple TV has been criticized for not adhering to the consistency of the tvOS platform, for example, gestures on the trackpad behave differently than in other tvOS applications. It remains to be seen whether the recent update improves this aspect of the application or not. The new version of YouTube for Apple TV seems to be rolling out slowly, so users may not have it yet. The whole thing was first noticed by a Reddit users from Germany. (Photo by dennizn / Bigstockphoto)
