The new swipe gestures are way more convenient than the "next" and "previous" overlay buttons.

It's the opposite of convenient. Videos skip when I don't want them to.

        I'm on Android Oreo, the picture in picture mode works in the US via VPN, why not in Europe?

          If they could at least bring the dark mode to android that would be great, before fancy swiping and gestures.

            Getting worse with more so-called useful feature that nobody asked for.

                I absolutely hate the Andoid YouTube updates now. They turned crap since the start of the year approximately.
