Spring cleaning of the YouTube Android app is continuing apace. Already this month we’ve seen tests for seek bar video previews and an iOS style bottom nav bar. Now, some users are seeing a new interface for collapsing the currently selected video, offering more than just a picture-in-picture window. The new UI moves this into a floating bottom bar including a play/pause button, as well as the option to close without having to swipe away.
YouTube is testing yet another UI modification, this time for collapsed video playback was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
