To enhance a user’s mobile experience, YouTube has resigned its app and introduced video editing tools along with an updated user interface. This is not the case with v10.
Google has yet to offer a similar fix to YouTube users who access the app on iPhone or desktop computers. Some users are also seeing Trending as the fourth tab.
Home allows the users to explore and discover videos with recommendations based on their viewing history, and playlists that are customized for them. In the latest update though, Google brings a more visually noticeable change with a fairly substantial redesign of the UI aimed at making navigation of your videos and channel subscriptions easier.
Account – here’s where you can see your watch history, playlists, account info, notification settings and “watch later” videos. In the Trending tab, popular trending videos from across the world are showcased.
In addition, Google says you can now trim footage, tint an image with filters, add music and upload – all within the YouTube app.
Other announcements by Wojcicki included the 12-step process of YouTube’s live-stream feature would be reduced to 3-step process.

While that may be enough to get people started, YouTube promises even more improvements to come.
