YouTube is updating how users browse content, starting with changes to the Home page and app navigation. For eligible users, the platform introduces “Custom Feeds,” which replaces the existing topic chips on the Home page. In parallel, YouTube is redesigning parts of the mobile interface to make frequently used areas easier to access, including how “Subscriptions” is reached.
Across outlets, the emphasis is on the practical impact of the redesign. Digital Trends highlights both greater control via Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions through a tested change to the mobile top bar. 9to5Mac focuses more directly on the removal of a “Subscriptions” bottom-tab option on Android and iOS, reporting that the change follows nearly a decade of that tab being present. Both accounts tie the interface changes to the rollout of Custom Feeds and reflect a shift in how YouTube positions navigation for subscriptions.
