If you are an Android user and you usually use the application Youtube I'm sure that on more than one occasion you will have had, for some reason or another, to advance or rewind the video you were watching, a fairly quick task if the advance you need is long but which can be a real headache if you need forward or backward 10 or 20 seconds, especially if the video is quite long.
With the arrival of the new version v11.47.55, Android users, for now, as they comment from Android Police, they will be able to advance or rewind in the reproduction of their video 10 seconds with just a double tap on the right or left half of the screen, depending on the action they want to carry out. Undoubtedly an addition in terms of functionality that many users will greatly appreciate.
Advance or rewind a YouTube video with just a double tap on the screen.
If you are interested in having this option as soon as possible, tell you that to activate it you must clear all app data. For this you must move to Applications, access YouTube, Storage and there click on Clear data and then OK. With this action, all your settings and any video you have downloaded will be lost. After performing this operation, the double tap on the screen will be active and you can comfortably move forward or backward 10 seconds just by tapping the screen of your device twice in a row.
As a final detail, tell you that, as is being discussed in the different forums, apparently and at the moment not everyone works with this trick so do not despair if you cannot activate it since it is just a new functionality that The guys from Google responsible for the development of the Android application are testing. As a recommendation to remind you that, before making any changes, make sure you have version 11.47.55 from the Youtube application.
