YouTube Shorts to replace Dislike button with new Save feature

YouTube is testing a new Shorts interface that will replace the ‘Dislike’ (thumbs down) button with Save. Users who are part of the limited test will no longer see the “Dislike” button but will instead see the “Save” feature, according to the Google owned video sharing platform. However, unlike the YouTube Premium experimental features, which requires users to opt-in, the update is being rolled out randomly. 

 

If any user is affected by the change and wants to dislike Shorts, the option can be accessed by tapping on the three dot menu from the top right of the screen.

 

To save YouTube Shorts, the user needs to press on the Save button that appears either below the like button or from the three dot menu and YouTube will ask the user if he/she wants to save it to an existing playlist or make a new one.

 

While it makes it easier to save Shorts, many users will most likely scroll to the next Shorts without disliking it. The change may be good news for Creators, but the downside is that low quality Shorts might appear higher on the feed.

 

While the YouTube Shorts UI change is still being tested, it is unclear if Google will push the change to everyone or roll it back.
