Connecting with your viewers on the new YouTube app for iPhone and iPod touch

Tuesday, September 11, 2012

We’re launching a new app for iPhone and iPod that helps viewers find your channel, and gives them more ways to enjoy and share your videos. The new YouTube app helps iPhone users:

Watch your channel instantly: We’ve integrated a swipe-out guide so your subscribers can now instantly access your channel.
Find videos faster: We’ve bulked up search tools, like auto-suggesting videos and searching specifically for channels.

Share with others: Viewers can now share directly on Google+, Facebook, Twitter, email, or text message from within the app.

You can use the app on your iPad too, but stay tuned for a made-for-iPad experience in the coming months.

To help your audience get the best experience on iOS, download the app, and encourage your audience to do the same by annotating this link: http://itunes.apple.com/app/youtube/id544007664
