  • YouTube is rolling back its recent floating picture-in-picture (PiP) mini-player design, which many users criticized for being distracting and glitchy.
  • The old mini-player, which appears in a small window at the bottom of the screen, is being restored with a new app update (version 19.45.36).
  • Some users expressed relief over the change, stating the old mini-player was easier to use and less intrusive than the new design.

YouTube seems to be rolling back its recent mini-player redesign after it was widely criticized by users.
