YouTube Mobile Lets You Curate Your Video Feeds
24 Oct
Summary
- Users can now create personalized video feeds on the YouTube mobile app.
- The feature offers more control over content beyond the standard algorithm.
- Custom feeds, previously on desktop, are now available on mobile.
YouTube has introduced a significant update to its mobile application, giving users greater autonomy over the videos they encounter. The newly implemented custom feed feature enables individuals to construct personalized video streams centered around any topic or mood they desire.
This innovative tool aims to allow users to "dive straight into" content that resonates with their unique interests. The feature, which first appeared on the desktop version last month, is now accessible via a plus sign on the mobile app's home screen menu. Users can also manage these feeds by editing, renaming, or deleting them.
The updated horizontal menu on the mobile app also includes dedicated tabs for custom feeds, subscribed channels, music content, and live streams. A separate 'Music & TV' button caters to subscribers of YouTube TV or Primetime Channels. Users must be at least 13 years old and have watch and search history enabled to utilize the custom feeds function.
