        been using it for a long time, and i loving it. removing so many useless youtube ads, story, menu, ect.

        if you so afraid of privacy, then just create a burner / another google account.

          786, 27 Apr 2021You've got serious issues problems. It's giving... moreyou mean advanced options? just give yt user a survey, let's see how many of them love or hate changing resolution everytime in each videos.

          you are the one with serious problem kid, you know nothing. every user have prefered resolution that staying at 144p or 360p or 480p. not everyone like to watching video above 720p. because there is so many factor on different countries.

          so F off.

            This seems like a minor inconvenience, and admittedly, it is, but it's EXTREMELY annoying having to go into the video settings to set the highest possible quality when it typically did that before. When I watch videos, even with my preferences set at a higher quality video, I'll still get them in 480p which is unbearable to watch when I try and read any small text on screen (which is kind of important with some informative videos.)
            Again, easily remedied by just selecting the highest option in the menu, but it's annoying having to go through an extra menu. This update sucks.

              Anonymous, 24 Apr 2021What is this nonsense? Why do companies keep making changes... moreI‘ll have to take that back. I noticed that you can still select a specific resolution by tapping „advanced“. 1 extra tap is not horrible for me.

                                80% off users are poor can't afford highend phones or watch 1440p or 2160p videos or music , news.

                                The users on here are all from Asia.

                                The minority 15% are from Europe USA middleeast.

                                  Wtf watches at 1440 and 360p?
                                  It looks fuzzy murky lost off details, like buying a 7 years old phone with camera and using it on 2021 phone.
