YouTube is redesigning its Android and iOS apps, removing the Subscriptions tab from the bottom bar after nearly a decade. The change coincides with the launch of custom feeds and a redesigned top bar with dedicated sections. Subscriptions now appears in the second position of the top bar on the Home tab, marked with a red underline.

New dedicated feeds for Live, Music, and Movies & TV (only if you have active subscriptions like Primetime Channels) will follow. This update also removes the navigation drawer. Custom feeds allow users to describe what they want to see in their own words, creating tailored feeds.

Free users can save up to 3 active custom feeds, while YouTube Premium members can save up to 8. The feature is rolling out in English to U.S.-based, signed-in viewers on mobile and desktop, with more countries to follow.
