Mon 17 October 2022:

YouTube has added iPhone home screen widgets for searching home, shorts, and subscriptions.

According to 9To5Google, ‘Quick Actions’ is a tool for searching and browsing the application.

The ‘Search YouTube’ section at the top launches the UI (user interface) with the active keyboard, while the microphone icon launches voice search.

According to the report, another widget called ‘Search’ allows for the entry of short text.

Recently, the application had introduced handles, a new way for people to easily find and engage with creators and each other on the Google-owned streaming platform.

Handles appear on channel pages and Shorts so that they will be instantly and consistently recognisable. It is simpler and faster to mention each other in comments, community posts, video descriptions, and more.

“For example, creators can be shouted out in a mention in comments or tagged in the title of a recent collab, helping them increase visibility and reach with new audiences,” the company said in a blogpost.

“Handles join channel names as another way to identify a YouTube channel, but unlike channel names, handles are truly unique to each channel so creators can further establish their distinct presence and brand on YouTube,” it added.
