Better sharing and video management along with a few quick bugfixes
An update to Youtube is rolling out for some users in the Google Play Store right now, and although we don’t have a complete changelog from Google just yet we have noticed a few changes. Right off the top, version 5.1.1.10 offers you a quick way to share videos or add them to watch later, favorites or a new playlist straight from the recommended or search results page with a tap on the overflow button. Previously you could only add them to “watch later.”
Another tiny change is the inability to subscribe to your own channel — makes sense, and we consider this one more of a bugfix than anything. Also new is a simple two-tap way to clear your video history from the overflow menu when viewing the list of your recently watched videos.
We’re still waiting to see a full proper changelog from Google in the Play Store (we’re still looking at the big one from last week), but you can still go check for and download the update.
