YouTube TV is now ‘YT TV’ on Android homescreens

---

A new update to YouTube TV for Android today sees Google change the app name to YT TV. The Android/Google TV app icon has also been ever so slightly tweaked

Google has reverted its December reversal with version 5.01.2. Widely rolling out via the Play Store today, the app is back to being listed as mYT TV and It’s clear that end users prefer the shortened application name.

This change can only be seen in the home screens and the application launchers, however, the application information page or Play Store has no mention of the update.

YouTube TV’s app for Android TV is adding overdue support for the platform’s home screen channels. Under the main row of apps on Android TV’s home screen, you will find a row packed with content you have recently watched. And under that, what Google calls channels are to be displayed. These various channels powers by apps installed on your mobile or tablet device and include recommendations featured content, and more.
