YouTube rolled out a new update to its iOS application recently that completely changes the visual look of the app along with bringing a few new video editing features. Some users have been leaving one-star reviews on the App Store and complaining about the new design of the app and how YouTube has failed to include iOS 9 features such as picture-in-picture. I’m also not fond of the redesign and feel that it looked more soothing previously and provided a better navigation. Fortunately enough, there is a way that you can get back the old navigation if you’re jailbroken your device.
YTOldNav is a new jailbreak tweak that brings back the old navigation of YouTube. Once installed, the tweak gets rid of the red top bar in YouTube and allows you to navigate by using the sidebar which was present in the older version of the app.
The tweak works perfectly without creating any issues. However, the only bug that I have encountered so far is that you can’t switch between the “Home”, “Videos” and “Playlist” tabs in a channel’s page. The developer has already acknowledged that a fix will be coming soon.
To install YTOldNav, you’ll first have to add the following new source to Cydia: http://repo.ioscreatix.com/. The tweak doesn’t require any configuration and all you have to do is to launch YouTube and start enjoying the old navigation.
Do you prefer the old YouTube design style and navigation over the new one? Share your opinions with us in the comments section below.
