YouTube has just changed
0:01
on virtually every cell phone in the world. And
0:03
while there are features you've had for
0:04
quite some time, there are also others you
0:06
probably haven't discovered yet.
0:08
Today I'm going to show you all the
0:09
new features, both on your
0:11
Android device and iPhone.
0:14
Hi, my name is Romel and before we
0:16
start, go directly to the Google
0:18
Play or the iOS Store and update YouTube
0:21
immediately because most likely
0:22
if I'm showing you all the
0:23
new features and you don't have them yet, it's
0:25
possible you haven't updated the
0:27
app. Yes, because some people get over it
0:28
, some appear immediately, and
0:31
others simply appear little by little.
0:33
And now, let's begin with one of the
0:34
most useful features on YouTube.
0:36
I'm referring to the famous picture-in-
0:39
picture. A few years ago
0:42
exclusive to YouTube Premium,
0:44
meaning you had to pay a few
0:46
bucks. However, it is now available
0:48
to all users worldwide, but
0:50
some have not activated it yet. And
0:52
to do this we are going to do the following.
0:54
Just log into your YouTube account, tap
0:56
your profile picture, and go to
0:58
settings. Then go to playback and
1:01
look for the picture-in-picture option. If it
1:03
's enabled, simply play
1:05
any video and then swipe
1:07
up or press the button to go to the
1:11
The video will automatically appear as
1:13
a small floating window that you can
1:15
move anywhere on the screen.
1:17
You can even make it bigger, smaller, or
1:19
close it whenever you want because, let's face it,
1:21
sometimes it's annoying. This is a
1:23
pretty useful feature, but once you
1:24
start using it you'll want to use it
1:26
every day. And now let's talk about the
1:28
shorts. Yes, I know, buddy, that you
1:30
see the shorts too. You've
1:31
come to this YouTube channel for a reason, because
1:33
YouTube has decided to make a lot
1:34
of changes here, and I know this topic divides
1:39
shorts app, but it doesn't. Some people
1:41
love shorts and could spend
1:43
hours watching short videos,
1:45
while other people simply
1:47
can't stand them. But whether you like it or not,
1:50
YouTube has made a lot of
1:51
changes here. The first thing is that
1:52
the dislike button practically
1:54
disappears on the shorts. Instead of
1:56
disliking it as before, you will now have to
2:00
screen and options such as "I'm not
2:02
interested" or "don't recommend this
2:04
channel" will appear. Of course you're not going to
2:05
do it here. In other words, instead of punishing a
2:08
video with a dislike, you now simply
2:09
tell YouTube to stop showing you
2:11
similar content. And to be honest, it
2:13
may be useful for most people, but
2:15
not for others, especially if you're looking for
2:17
specific topics. Another curious change is in
2:19
the classic Thumbs Up, which
2:21
will gradually be replaced by a little
2:22
heart. I don't have it yet,
2:24
but it's very likely that this will
2:26
gradually appear on some
2:27
mobile devices, especially those that
2:29
have the YouTube beta. Ah,
2:31
you just found out that beta exists. It's a
2:33
small change, but it shows that YouTube is
2:35
still trying to make the app
2:36
a little more like other
2:38
short video platforms. And there's a feature that
2:40
I think is great, because it
2:41
didn't appear in YouTube videos, which is that
2:43
now if you hold down any of
2:45
the sides of a video, you'll see it
2:47
play at 2X speed. [music]
2:49
Before, you had to go into the
2:50
settings and other things to be
2:53
able to play it much faster,
2:54
but that has completely disappeared and
2:57
that's appreciated because the truth is that
2:59
some people make 3-minute shorts and it's better to
3:01
listen to a podcast. There are even people
3:04
second videos are too long. And another
3:06
great feature that I also found to be
3:07
correct is that if you press and hold
3:09
the screen you can see the entire interface
3:12
completely clear. Hey, but what does
3:14
this mean? This means you won't
3:16
see any buttons interrupting your
3:18
viewing. This way you can view the
3:21
distractions. And it seems like a
3:22
small detail, but believe me, many people watch
3:24
videos and don't notice the
3:26
hidden details around them. And if you're a
3:28
content creator, here's a little
3:30
tip: you can now reply to
3:32
any message someone writes to you using voice notes
3:36
you can record your voice for any comment
3:38
and make it much more special. The
3:41
best part is that you'll also have an
3:42
automatic transcript for those who
3:44
prefer to read before listening. For
3:46
now, this feature is coming
3:47
first to Android. I've already tried it,
3:49
although I haven't answered any
3:51
voice messages. and it will also be
3:53
available for iPhone later. And another feature
3:55
that most people may not know about is that on
3:57
YouTube you also have the option to
4:01
specific time limit. I know this feature was there
4:03
before, but well, YouTube
4:05
decided to delete it, I don't know why, but it's
4:09
you try to share a video, you can now
4:13
exact moment you want the
4:15
clip to appear in the box, so you don't have to send
4:17
a message and tell the other person,
4:19
"Hey, look, minute 10, minute 10.5
4:23
and something." No, no, no, that's all in the
4:25
past now. And speaking of
4:27
hidden settings, there's a little
4:28
detail you should know:
4:30
if you've ever opened a video and it
4:32
was in another language, don't worry
4:34
because there's a solution for that too.
4:37
video settings, then into audio track, and
4:39
finally into preferred languages. From
4:41
there you can choose exactly which
4:43
version you want to hear of that video,
4:46
whether [music] is Spanish from Spain,
4:47
Spanish from Mexico, Spanish from the
4:49
United States, or another language. If you still don't see
4:51
those small details, it means
4:53
your account hasn't been
4:54
updated yet. And before I finish, I want to
4:56
give you one more tip, because YouTube
4:59
also has an option to
5:01
improve your privacy. It's called
5:03
channel visibility in
5:04
shared links. If you have it enabled,
5:07
someone will be able to see
5:08
your channel-related information when
5:10
you share YouTube links. But if
5:12
you prefer to maintain some
5:13
privacy, simply go into the
5:17
disable that feature. It's a small
5:19
detail that many people
5:21
overlook, but it never hurts to check
5:23
these kinds of options. And well, now
5:25
we've reached the end with all the
5:27
new features, both existing and yet to be, that
5:29
are now available on YouTube, so
5:31
check them out on your mobile app, whether you're
5:33
on Android or iPhone. And if you liked
5:35
this video, give it a thumbs up, don't
5:37
forget to subscribe, activate the
5:38
bell so you don't miss anything from the
5:40
world of technology, as well as
5:42
follow me on my TikTok, Instagram and
5:43
WhatsApp as the techie, because I
5:45
bring you gossip that nobody tells you.
5:47
My name is Rome and I'll see you in the
