Summary
YouTube said its mobile homepage is getting a simplified top bar that surfaces tabs for Subscriptions, Live, Music and custom feeds.
Rene Ritchie, YouTube’s creator liaison, said custom feeds will remain in that top bar, reinforcing the redesign around personalized navigation.
The change follows YouTube’s removal of the Subscriptions button from the mobile bottom bar after nearly a decade, moving it onto the Home tab instead.
Custom feeds are rolling out first to U.S. users 13+ with English settings, with up to 3 feeds for free users and 8 for Premium members.
