Why I watch YouTube on iPhone through Safari and I advise you

The apps on the iPhone are what make it so convenient. Although, in fact, the application is just a separate program with the full functionality of some service, sometimes it may not work correctly, and some of the features may be missing for some reason.

YouTube app for iPhone

YouTube App for iOS is the easiest way to watch your favorite videos. The application downloads quickly, but the main problem is that it is updated too often. In addition, developers often change elements in updates, add new icons, so after installing a new version, you can get a little lost. The same player was updated several times in a year, which is very unusual. So it’s better disable auto-update applications and do not install updates if you do not want problems.

There are too many elements in the YouTube app when viewing. For example, title

On the other hand, the application YouTube supports swipe gestures double-tap, and while rewinding, a graph of the most popular sections is displayed on the timeline: by clicking on it, you can view the content and immediately jump to the right moment.

When the Internet is weak, the pages in the application load faster than in the browser version, the interface works smoothly without twitching even on older iPhones, and the video loads automatically in low quality – it’s faster that way. In addition, if the application is installed, then when you search in the browser when you click on the link, you are transferred to it, and it is more difficult to open it in the same Safari – you need to click “Open in a new tab” so that it does not open in the YouTube application.

How to watch YouTube on iPhone

The most convenient way watch YouTube on iPhone – through the browser, although it has its own nuances. At first sight, YouTube web version does not differ from the application: the interface, the Like / Dislike buttons, Share and so on are identical. The convenience is that the bottom panel is hidden when scrolling, unlike the mobile application, but at the right time it may not pop up. By the way, if you like to keep address bar in Safari from above, it is even more convenient to use it – the two panels below do not interfere with each other and there is no chance to miss at all. You can turn it off by pressing Aa and selecting Hide Toolbar.

You can translate a page or run a video in the background

Besides, YouTube in Safari supports full-screen viewing in vertical mode, and the video itself can be enlarged with a “pinch” or double tap if you need to see something in the frame. Even podcasts that aren’t available on Apple Podcast and other streaming services can be listened to in the background by minimizing the video and tapping Play in Control Center.

Browser YouTube is more suitable for those who are more comfortable with the standard iOS player.

For those who are accustomed to the standard player in iOS, the familiar interface elements are preserved, and in iOS 16 built-in player and almost nothing will differ from the third-party! And here are some more cool features of the web version of YouTube.

• Ad Block blocks ads on YouTube. Yes, in Russia now it is not available when viewing, but with the VPN turned on, it regularly crawls out even on TV.
• The button for switching video quality is right on the screen, and not hidden like in the application.
• When minimizing the application YouTube uploads videoso often when you restart the video you have to reload it.
• Also available in Safari page translation in YouTube into another language: you need to click “Aa” and select “Translate website”.
• YouTube in Safari allows you to share videos using drag and drop gestures. This is especially convenient on an iPad or iPhone with a large screen. We wrote about what other gestures are in iOS 15 in our article.

Despite certain drawbacks associated with the same smoothness of the interface, YouTube is more convenient to watch in the browser on an iPhone with a larger screen. For example, on the iPhone SE with a 4.7-inch screen, this turns into torture, but on the iPhone 11, it’s just perfect. Also, the YouTube app doesn’t look as appealing on the iPad, more like a stretched mobile version of VK. And the browser version is great for those who do not use the Premium subscription.
