      YouTube Tests Redesign Progress Bar on Android App to Improve Viewing Experience | Details Inside

      YouTube is working on improving the design of its app for Android phones and tablets, as per a report. The YouTube is testing a subtler design for the video progress bar compare to the original red-colour one that is currently available to users.

      The bar has reportedly spot in some Android devices exclusively in the ‘dark theme‘ option of the website, looking to provide a lesser distracting user interface to the viewers.

      As per a report, the progress bar is white or grey in colour when a video is playing on YouTube for Android with the dark theme enable.

      The redesign YouTube progress bar does not note the amount of video which has load, as per the report.

      The red seek bar also show a grey indicator for how much of the video had load in advance.

      Upon interacting with the scrubber or tapping up to make controls visible brings the progress bar back to its previous behaviour, helping the UI fade away.

      Outside of the YouTube video player, the red colour still appears in the main feed, hence confirming that it is still the platform’s accent colour.

      The progress bar’s colour change is target at improving the viewing experience, as per report.

      YouTube previously start testing a queueing system on its apps for iOS and Android.

      This feature has available on the web for years now and shows up on the YouTube app under certain circumstances.

      Users who control their Chromecast with their phones might recognise it, as will those who use the YouTube Music app.

      But now, YouTube Premium users who opt-in to the test will be able to add videos to a stack that acts like an impermanent playlist.
