I especially hate the auto-play in feed thing in the Android YouTube app. Threre's no audio but it makes me feel jumpy and irritable bc I'm not in control. The iOS version has an option to turn it off, which must be an Apple requirement. It makes no sense not to offer the option to YouTube subscribers since we don't see ads. Google is just wasting their bandwidth. Workaround is to start a video and pause it, but that's stupid. Just let me turn the shit off.
Edit: I'm a dumbass and possibly a jackass. They added this at some point. Thanks @pete_the_cat@lemmy.world for setting me straight.
You can definitely turn that off, or at least I can on my S23. It may be a YouTube Premium feature.
Ok. Show me a screen shot. In the iOS version, the option is called "Playback in feeds" and appears at the bottom of the General section in Settings. This option does not exist in the Android version that I have. As I stated, I am a YouTube subscriber.

I could kiss you. I'm very sorry that I doubted you, Mr. Cat. I don't know when they added this but I guess I never saw it bc I expected the options to be in the same order in the iOS version.
Haha no problem!
