The video streaming giant is experimenting with the Swipe Up offering after seeing the success that TikTok attained. It’s also now on Instagram and YouTube Shorts. And soon, we do hope to see it take over the app’s standard video player.
First explored by Tushar Mehta, he showed how the app is playing around with the latest fullscreen video player where swipe up shows new video getting played.
The feature is just part of a limited test right now so was only seen on Android. Whatever the case might be, the change would seemingly be drastic. For now, using the swipe-up option just allows the viewer to exit their full-screen mode of viewing videos. When you swipe from the left or right, users can exit fullscreen. It’s the same as the arrow button seen on the top left-hand side.
For now, it’s not too clear if the Android maker will launch this to global audiences or not. It totally depends on the reception it attains. The app is not commenting too much on the feature just yet but we’ll surely keep you updated on this front.
Still, we’re curious to hear what you think. Can this potential change be a great way to navigate videos on the classic video player or not? Let us know in the comments section!
