YouTube’s Android app gets dedicated ‘Comment’ button, change is India specific

YouTube is testing a new layout that will move the entire comment section to a button. The feature is being tested for Android the version of the app for now.

The “Comments” button seems to be YouTube’s solution to hide unwanted comments from a user’s sight. According to XDA Developers, the rollout is currently limited to India and hasn’t been spotted elsewhere.

Hate comments and spam are some of the biggest issues social media platforms have to deal with, especially in India. Facebook-owned Instagram and Twitter have had a dedicated button for comments for a long time now. YouTube’s comments button is placed prominently near the “Dislike” and “Share” buttons.
