New Analytics

The platform has included channel-level insights and more metrics to help creators understand how their content is performing. Creators can tap 'Analytics' on the bar at the bottom of the screen to monitor information, check channel overview and key metrics, and analyze viewer data.

Mobile Monetization Appeals

The platform has added monetization appeals to the mobile app to make the feature more accessible when the creators are away from their computer but want to appeal to monetization decisions made by YouTube that they don't agree with.

Creators can head to the “Content” tab n the app, find the video that has limited monetization, tap on the yellow $ icon, and select 'Request review'. After the review has been requested, a policy specialist will analyze the video again, and change the video’s monetization status to the suitable one.
