YouTube for Android is testing a new redesign that replaces the Library option with the “You” Tab. The firm has removed your profile avatar from the top-right corner and moved it to the bottom bar. It serves as the icon for a new “You” tab that combines the functionality of the previous account menu and Library.
All Google apps have that account pic in the same position, and this YouTube redesign breaks that consistency. It’s somewhat reminiscent of Instagram and other social media apps, which might be the point. Your channel information appears first along with buttons to Switch account, Google Account, and Turn on Incognito.
App settings are also accessed from the gear icon that only appears on this page, and is faster to access than before. Then here comes the carousels for History and Playlists, with the latter no longer being a continuous list for a big usability change that reflects how this is no longer a Library page.
It further includes all your videos, Downloads, Your clips, Your movies, Your Premium benefits, Time watched, and Help & feedback round out this page. However, the “You” Tab is currently only found for some users and is not widely available.
