Enjoy a more immersive experience with this new change to YouTube for Android.
YouTube for Android is now getting a nice tweak to its visual appearance: a transparent status bar. The update is rolling out right now, and it’s a great quality-of-life improvement.
Before this update, you were greeted by a solid back status bar when you scrolled through the YouTube app’s Home and Subscription feeds.
But now, you will see video thumbnails underneath, and you also see notifications and status bar icons underneath for a more immersive experience. And visually, it’s also quite a pleasant update. The new change is also in line with Ambient mode in the video player.
Unfortunately though, if you’re at the top of the two feeds in question, it does not look seamless when you have system dark theme enabled.
