On YouTube the ads are the explosions. Ads are so loud compared to the regular videos that I often just turn the volume down and the captions on.
- brokenmachine 4y agoThere's a "mute" button too.
- weinzierl 4y agoDoes it reliably and persistently mute all the time? On iOS specifically I have the problem that sometimes an ad starts to blare from a background tab (sometimes on another tab page) out of the blue. So I try to never leave YouTube open. I cannot imagine that YouTube wants me to keep it shut, but well... there we are. What makes the whole thing even more ironic is that YouTube refuses to play in the background in any other case, even though it seems to be perfectly possible from a technical point of view. When I turn the volume down on my phone I know what I get and it'd never let me down.
- brokenmachine 4y agoIf I had a device that didn't mute when I told it to, I would consider it faulty and I would return it. I was talking about watching youtube on my android phone or TV when I wrote the comment. So yes, mute always mutes. I don't know what happens for iOS hostages.
