At CES 2025, Delta Airlines has announced new efforts to improve the in-flight experience with 4K screens that offer YouTube Premium and YouTube Music.

After rolling out a round of design updates and new features to the mobile app, YouTube is testing a “Play something” FAB.

A new software update is now rolling out to Rivian electric vehicles with support for Google Cast and a new YouTube app.

With the main YouTube app replacing YouTube Kids on televisions this year, Google is adding a new “parent code” lock.

YouTube announced a number of updates for its mobile app in October, and the translucent bottom bar with a frosted glass effect is now rolling out.

YouTube Premium is one of a mountain of subscription plans for streaming services, but it’s for the biggest video-sharing platform on the planet – do you think it’s worth it?

YouTube continues to roll out the series of new features and design updates it announced last month, with the refreshed bottom bar icons widely available on Android. 

Over the past few weeks, a handful of reports have surfaced regarding ads being shown for YouTube Premium subscribers, with one users sharing a support email that supposedly confirmed it was on purpose. YouTube, though, says Premium subscribers shouldn’t be seeing ads.

Beginning in 2023, Google started raising the price of YouTube Premium. Most saw the increase immediately, but there were some exceptions. The early adopter (grandfathered) price for what’s now YouTube Premium is going away soon.

Last month, YouTube announced a host of new features. After the new miniplayer and settings revamp, YouTube is rolling out the fine-tunable redesign of playback speed controls in the Android and iOS app. 

The constant evolution of the YouTube experience on Android TV continues with a more prominent “Subscribe” button when in the main player UI.

YouTube hyperlinked comments are now starting to appear more widely in video comment sections as a – somewhat spammy – way to help you find more about a specific topic or interest point.

Following the announcement last week, YouTube has widely rolled out the new miniplayer on Android and a redesign of mobile settings.

YouTube Premium is pricey, but Google is slowly starting to expand a “Premium Lite” plan to more countries with a price that’s roughly half off.

In addition to a slew of new features, the YouTube UI is getting some design updates across mobile, web, and TV. These visual improvements, including a subtle frosted glass effect, aim to “simplify” YouTube.

YouTube is making official a number of updates that it’s been testing in recent months, like the new miniplayer and several design updates.

YouTube has updated how the “skip” button works with ads, and it may no longer appear right away.

YouTube for Android TV has a new dual-column channel side menu that obscures less of the content you’re trying to watch.

YouTube’s constant evolution on Android TV continues unabated, with an updated ‘slight’ “Who’s watching” account switcher launch screen.
