YouTube has rolled out a global update to its desktop, mobile and smart TV interfaces, simplifying the layout and giving Shorts a dedicated tab.

Market Impact

Jonathan Terleski, YouTube’s vice-president of user experience, said the changes aim to standardise button placement and reduce visual clutter. Primary actions—Like, Share and Subscribe—now sit in a single cleaner row under videos. Secondary features—Save, Download, Hype and Report—are grouped under a three-dot “More” menu. On mobile, the Account, Watch History and Library sections merge into one tab that surfaces channel profiles, recent watch history and saved playlists on a single page.

On laptops, tablets and smart TVs, YouTube has added a dedicated Shorts tab directly below Home in the side navigation, letting viewers jump straight to short-form videos with one tap. The updated interface is rolling out worldwide across iOS, Android, web and smart TV platforms.

The move follows last year’s addition of a Save button next to Like, which cut the average time to archive a video by 30%, Terleski said. Shorts now accounts for more than 50 billion daily views, so centralising its entry point is designed to cut friction for the fastest-growing part of the service.
