YouTube has started testing a new feature aimed at speeding up content discovery for users. The "Play Something" button will eliminate the video search process, allowing users to easily access random content.
With the 19.50 version released for Android devices, users will be able to access this new button.
Users who click the button will be able to watch random videos based on their viewing habits within the app. This way, it will be possible to start watching immediately without spending time searching for content. With this new feature, YouTube aims to improve the user experience by accelerating content selection.
This feature is not limited to YouTube Shorts. Users will also be able to watch regular videos in portrait mode with large buttons. All these innovations are being tested on the Android platform with version 19.50 and are presented by taking users' viewing habits into account.
