  • YouTube is testing a new landscape layout for Android, which is better optimized and has less wasted white space.
  • The updated layout is available for some users but is not widely available.

YouTube is one of the best Android apps out there, and most of us are hooked enough to spend quite a lot of money on a monthly YouTube Premium subscription. The service has plenty of room to improve, though, and one of these is how the app works on wider aspect ratios, like on phones in landscape orientation and on larger screen foldables and tablets. Google seems to have turned its attention to this landscape experience, as we’ve spotted changes that are a definite improvement over what we currently have in the YouTube app for Android.
