Youtube’s new mobile app makes it easy to like, dislike and share videos

To ease interactions for videos on YouTube, the video streaming giant has launched a new mobile app that makes it easy to access controls while watching videos in full-screen mode.

The new mobile app interface adds a row of buttons in the lower corner. Buttons are visible to users when they pause the video or tap anywhere on the screen. The new app lets you like or dislike a video, open comments, share and save to playlists.

There’s also a new “More Videos” section in the lower right corner. In the old YouTube interface, these buttons were hidden behind a gesture.

YouTube’s new interface debuts Monday on both iOS and Android, but it won’t be available to everyone at once.

Meanwhile, YouTube is reportedly also testing a new looping feature that will enable users to ‘loop’ the entire video or particular chapters of a video without having to manually move the playback slider back to a particular point.
