Google Updates Android YouTube App

Google has pushed out a new version of its YouTube app for Android, and while most Android phones come with YouTube preloaded, the new version is available as a separate download from the Android Market. This is part of Google’s move to make it easier for users to update key apps without waiting for their phone company to upgrade to the latest version of the Android operating system… although the new app currently requires Android 2.2 and up.

The new YouTube app supports in-page playback, allowing you to read comments while a video is playing.You can still watch videos in full screen, simply by rotating the display.

YouTube for Android makes it easy to search YouTube, view and subscribe to channels, or shoot videos with your camera and upload them directly to YouTube. You’ll also see a personalized list of recommended videos on the home screen when you login.

The new YouTube app for Android is available as a free download from the Android Market.

  1. That’s a good story, but could you post the QR code for the app so I don’t need to go elsewhere to download it?
