    Annoyed by YouTube autoplaying videos on Android? Sorry, it’s not a bug, it’s another experimental feature




    • Android users have noticed a test that autoplays the first video in your feed when you open the YouTube app
    • Users have expressed their negative feelings online, with some sharing tips and workarounds for avoiding this
    • This is another of YouTube’s recent experimental features, and follows the platform’s ‘recommended videos’ list in the app’s playback queue

    Usually, when YouTube implements new experimental features, you can spot them from a mile away. However, the video platform has been quite discreet and sneaky with its latest test, and some users have noticed that it has been automatically playing the first video in their feed as they open the Android version of the app.

    Over the past month or so, several Android users have reported their experiences with this strange autoplay function, and though most believed it to be a bug at first, it turns out that it’s intentional on YouTube’s part. To say people are frustrated is an understatement, and they haven’t shied away from expressing their feelings in countless Reddit threads.
