YouTube to experiment new feature ‘Explore’
MUMBAI: The world’s largest video streaming platform ‘YouTube’ is now experimenting with new feature known as Explore that will help the users to find the new channels and videos while browsing on mobile.
The Explore feature will pop up as a “tab” at the bottom of the app’s home screen for a select one per cent of iOS users, according to YouTube’s director of product Tom Leung, and host of the platform’s Creator Insider channel.
Commenting on this development, Leung said “Explore is designed to help you to be exposed to different kinds of topics, videos, or channels that you might not otherwise encounter. But they are still personalised, but they’re still personalized, so they are still based on your viewing activity”.
Twitter provides a similar service which lets users scroll through different types of feeds that aren’t necessarily full of people that they follow.
