YouTube is the go-to choice for most users worldwide, particularly when seeking video content such as reviews, short videos, and instructional guides. Google periodically updates the platform to ensure it remains up-to-date. It is now reportedly testing the new UI of the YouTube mobile app. Where the comment section has been completely hidden from the screen.
YouTube’s new UI might hide the comment section forever
YouTube is getting a new update almost every other week. And this time, it is getting some major UI changes in its mobile application. A user on Discord got access to the new under-development UI of YouTube’s mobile app.
If we look closely at the shared screenshot of the new UI, it is visible that several elements have been hidden. Almost every important thing, such as the channel’s logo, subscriber count, and share button, has been hidden from the screen. And yes, YouTube has hide the comment section as well. However, these elements are not removed completely from the app. To access it, you will have to tap on the dropdown button located right next to the video’s title.
Users are not liking the new change at all
While the exact reason behind this change remains unknown, YouTube is probably doing this to allow users to see more content on the screen. And the options, such as the share button and the comment section, aren’t going anywhere; they’re just being hidden beneath a new layer. However, the users have a different take on the change.
A user on Reddit has expressed their dissatisfaction with the new UI. Sure, allowing more room for content to be displayed on the screen is the right choice. But tucking out as an important factor of the video, as the comment section on the screen is not something that makes a lot of sense. The comment section allows the user to express their view and see others’ views on the content as well. Hiding it in a new option seems rather polarizing.
