How does automatic video playback on the YouTube homepage for Android differ from the previously used YouTube autoplay feature on mobile phones and what benefits does it bring to users?
According to Android Central, the 'Play as you browse' feature operates on the YouTube app's homepage:
“When accessing YouTube with the 'Play as you browse' feature, videos will play as you browse through the app's homepage on your device.”
Fortunately, this feature doesn't affect sound as sound doesn't autoplay. Instead, subtitles are displayed in a preview directly when the video is played from start to finish. The playing video is positioned in the top corner of the screen, and the next videos will play as you scroll to them.
Users can completely disable the 'Play as you browse' feature by accessing Settings =>General. Additionally, users can only use this feature when connected to Wi-Fi to save mobile data on their device.

Many users may not be very excited about this feature. Earlier this year, Google also experimented with a similar feature for YouTube on the web: previewing 3 seconds when users hover over the thumbnail of the video. Additionally, on Android, you can also download YouTube videos to your phone to watch later during your free time, a method of downloading YouTube videos on Android that Mytour.vn has covered in many tutorials. Best of luck!
