A YouTube redesign removed filters and changed familiar habits, and one writer says finding favorite creators now takes more effort, though a workaround exists.
YouTube has a new look, and at least one longtime viewer says it makes the app harder to use. Android Authority published a piece saying the redesign upended old habits, removed filters and made it more work to watch favorite creators. The writer also says there is a workaround.
According to the article's description, the redesign broke the muscle memory built up over years of using the app. That means the taps and swipes many people do without thinking no longer lead where they used to.
The bigger complaint is about filters. These are the buttons that helped sort videos so you could find what you wanted faster. The writer says they were taken away.
Anyone who opens YouTube mainly to watch particular creators could feel this most. The writer says that watching the creators they love now takes more effort. It is not clear from the material how many people share that experience.
The full article was not available, so the details of the workaround are not covered here. The material does not say which devices or versions of YouTube are affected, when the redesign reached users, or whether YouTube plans to bring the filters back. It also does not include any comment from YouTube.
If YouTube feels harder to use lately, you are not alone. Reading the original Android Authority piece is the best way to see the writer's fix for yourself.
If YouTube feels harder to use since the redesign, a workaround exists, and the Android Authority article explains it.
