In a recent update, the YouTube TV app Channel Guide is getting a new look. This new look cleans the app’s interface up and makes it blend well with Google TV’s Live tab. Users of this app on their smart TVs can now access their favorite live channels from a more stylish interface.
This update improves accessibility for users, but it also brushes up the interface looks. It brings to play a similar design language from Android’s Material You, helping to improve the look of the entire design. The similarities between the new YouTube TV app Channel Guide design and that of Google TV bring a sense of harmony within the system.
While this updated design is impressive, it isn’t necessarily affecting all areas of the app. Certain areas of this app don’t receive any design updates, as they stay the same even after the update. Well if you use YouTube TV, here are some more details on the design changes that you should expect to come to the app.
A new design update brings improvements to the looks of the YouTube TV app Channel Guide
This design update is currently rolling out to users of the YouTube TV app. The update brings changes to the design of the Channel Guide within the app’s interface. Some design changes to this are to improve its looks, while others add some functional features.
Turning attention to its design first, this update brings more rounded edges to the elements within the Channel Guide section. The background for this interface also gets a bit darker, helping to stand the white text out. This helps improve visibility for users of the YouTube TV app while they scroll through content.
But for functionality, this update improves upon the looks of the Channel Guide section of the app. If you aren’t already aware, this section of the app is under the Live option. This is where you access content streaming live on YouTube TV, such as sports, news, and so much more.
With this update, the tiles in the Channel Guide section now get round edges. But more importantly, is that the update will give you quick access to your favorite channel up the list of live channels. The content layout stays the same, starting with local content and moving on to other content that you enjoy live-streaming.
Some users are already accessing this feature via an update to their YouTube TV app. This design change only affects the live channel guide on the app and not the entire app. If you use YouTube TV on your Smart TV, you will be in line to get this update as well.
