YouTube is rolling out an updated to version 5.9.0.10, bringing with it a few changes for playlist management. ile the changes in the latest version are on the subtle side, they bring a slightly cleaner experience.

First up, when searching for a playlist, an action overflow button will appear next to each result. Tapping the button allows you to quickly save the playlist for later without viewing it or sharing it. Of course, these features were available in previous versions of the YouTube app, but now it’s just easier to get to them.

Once inside a playlist’s ling page, you’ll find one small difference in the latest version. Instead of a ‘thumbs up’ button to like a playlist, you’ll find a “+” option to add that video to your playlist.
