TL;DR YouTube’s redesign is now rolling out to its mobile apps for Android and iOS.
It brings bold and curvier icons, which Google calls “expressive and intuitive.”
Many users previously expressed their disapproval of the similar design that rolled out to the web interface earlier this month.
YouTube recently introduced a new player UI on the web, with stark changes, especially to the icons. While YouTube calls these new elements “more expressive,” many users can’t resist calling them unsightly and cartoonish. Regardless of the latter group’s views, YouTube is starting to roll out a similar design refresh to its mobile apps.
New, thicker, and caricaturish icons can be seen sprinkled across YouTube’s Android and iOS apps, as 9to5Google first noted.

Everything from the cast and the search icons in the top bar to the Home, Shorts, and Subscriptions icons in the bottom bar has been reformed. Even icons accompanying menu items in the Settings have been replaced.
