blurred navigation bar

YouTube is experimenting with a blurred bottom navigation bar on Android devices, featuring a compact design with text labels and simplified icons for key functions. The circular white outline around the plus button has been removed, and the design has transitioned from solid to translucent, allowing the background feed to show through. The navigation bar has increased in height to accommodate three buttons, enhancing visual impact. The blurred effect is less noticeable in the You tab with its dark background. This update follows a redesign of the miniplayer, and the rollout of the blurred bottom bar is still in early stages, not yet available on all devices.
