I think YouTube app is user-hostile on purpose and has similar behavior on Android. I mean, My biggest pain point with it is that after switching to another video, you can’t go back to the previous one without visiting account history. At least I couldn’t find a way to do that, and when I asked a friend who I knew was spending few hours a day in that app, he didn’t even know that there was such a problem (why would you ever want to navigate back?).
I’ve been using Ivory for iOS as NewPipe replacement, but it’s still much inferior, especially when it comes to updates (for example, it cannot play videos right now due to YouTube API change, and past experiences taught me it will take at least a week before developer fixes it).
- ajconway 7y agoOn iOS you can tap on the video to bring up controls and the go-back button will navigate to the previous video
- mercer 7y agoI find that more often than not, this doesn't work. I've not quite figured out the 'rules' to it, but it's so inconsistent that I usually don't even bother trying.
