YouTube Mobile Update - shorts are now default

[MotoWolfUK]

Hello all.

YouTube have had a rather nice mobile update. However I’ve noticed it defaulted to Shorts as the upload option when pressing the +

Thankfully you can change the default to normal video, but it’s a sign of what direction they’d like to take - just as this forum has pointed out many times, guess I’m just adding to that statistics b it thought I should share

I guess most people uploading by mobile do shorts, most people uploading by PC do longer, more edited vlogs, so youtube are making defaults suit that.

Thats possibly more like it, yes.

But, as you say, the defaults can be changed to suit ourselves.

Also noticed there’s a link straight to your Google account and an Incognito mode has been added :3

After playing around with it a bit, it’s a great improvement for end users and a general improvement
