Android: YouTube now shows video previews in the Home panel, which consumes data and is otherwise just annoying. Fortunately, you can disable them.
First, tap your profile picture in the top right corner, then tap Settings > General.
Now go to “Play in Feeds” and select “Off” from the menu.
It makes sense for YouTube to add such a feature, as it gives users a very clear idea of what the video in question will be, but at the same time, it’s easy to see why users find this annoying.
Thanks to my friend Nancy Messieh from MakeUseOf for pointing this out to me.
