YouTube gets Material Design makeover

It was bound to happen. YouTube is joining the fray of other Google apps to get the Material Design treatment. Not much has changed when it comes to functionality though.

The update should be coming to your device soon. Just wait for a bit.

If you’re one of the lucky ones with access to Google’s new invite-only email client Inbox, you might be seeing some changes in the visuals. Those who already have Android 5.0 Lollipop-powered will see that the status bar color changes to fit the action bar color.
