YouTube's fresh Android update enables video editing on the go

YouTube app for Android has finally received a major update this week. The new, redesigned YouTube app is split into three tabs - Home, Subscriptions and Account.


The Home tab displays recommendations based on your watch history as well as playlists personalized just for you. The Subscriptions tab now shows small icons on the top of the screen that allow you to quickly go through your subscribed channels, viewing the latest videos of each. There is also a bell icon on the channels, tapping on which will keep you notified about new uploads from your favorite channels. Finally, the Account tab shows your playlists, watch history and your uploaded videos. The brand new update even allows you to trim your footage, tint the image with filters, add music and upload videos directly from the app. Last but not the least, for the very first time, you can now watch full screen vertical videos with just a single tap.

Google has said that an update to YouTube for iOS is also on its way.
