YouTube adds a new comments button: Here's what it does

Google's video sharing platform, YouTube is currently one of the most popular platforms. It allows users to share and watch videos and also like, share and comment on them. However, these comments automatically show up and they sometimes consist of violent or inappropriate messages. The company is trying to fix it by adding this new feature.

According to a recent report by XDA-Developers, YouTube is testing a new comments button, which will essentially reveal all the comments on the video. This means by default the comments will remain hidden on the Android app. So, even if users scroll down on a video, they will not see anything.

Now, under a video, the user will be able to see five options, which include Like, Dislike, Comments, Share and Download options. The Save option for watching the video later has been shifted to make way for the new option. It can be found when one expands the section to reveal description and other video information.

The feature has currently been rolled out to a small number of people in India as a part of a testing program. It will soon be spread to other nations.

Meanwhile, YouTube is also changing the way it handles children's videos. They will be shifting such videos to YouTube Kids, which is a standalone application available on both iOS and Android.
