Islamabad: YouTube’s new feature will allow users to organise video recommendations around their specific interests and discover relevant content more easily.
October 26, 2026: YouTube is introducing changes to its mobile app, including a new Custom Feeds feature designed to give users greater control over the videos recommended to them.
The update aims to simplify navigation between video categories and make it easier for users to find content based on their individual preferences.
Custom feeds offer more control over video discovery
The new Custom Feeds feature will allow users to create personalised video feeds around specific subjects rather than relying solely on YouTube’s existing recommendations.
For example, users interested in smartphone advertisements or particular types of technology videos will be able to customise their feeds around those topics.
The feature is intended to go beyond conventional keyword searches by allowing users to describe the content they want to see and organise their video discovery experience accordingly.
New videos may appear in personalised feeds
Users may also see newly uploaded videos related to their selected interests as relevant content becomes available.
The feature could make it easier to follow particular subjects without repeatedly searching for them, while helping users discover videos that align more closely with their preferences.
YouTube updates mobile app design
Alongside Custom Feeds, YouTube is making changes to the mobile app’s top navigation bar to simplify its layout and improve movement between video categories.
The changes reflect the platform’s broader focus on personalised content discovery and a more user-directed viewing experience.
By giving viewers additional ways to organise recommendations, YouTube aims to make finding relevant videos more convenient and allow users to exercise greater control over the content they encounter on the platform.
