YouTube is now getting a new swipe down gesture for exiting full-screen viewing mode with a single swipe. The swipe gesture feature is in action and seems to be available via a server-side update.

The swipe feature is a fairly new feature to the user interface (UI) of the YouTube app. Following the update to the UI, users will have better controls over fullscreen viewing in the latest version of the YouTube app.

If you want to use the new swipe down gesture feature, then you will have to update the YouTube app from Google Play to the latest version. Alternatively, you can join the beta program on YouTube to get the latest updates and features.   

Prior to this update, users had to tap on the video screen once for the controls to appear and then tap on the tiny square icon in the bottom corner of the right hand to exit fullscreen mode. Swipe gestures make it easier to leave fullscreen playback without extra taps.

With the new swipe down gesture, you’re able to swipe in a downward direction anywhere on the playback screen with a single swipe.
