This feature has been a part of the desktop version of YouTube for quite some time now. It’s absence in the YouTube Android app was rather conspicuous and Google has finally introduced this much awaited feature. This YouTube app update comes out as a server-side flip, meaning it should be live on your app already.

Google, which acquired YouTube in 2006 in perhaps one of the best business deals in the history of the tech industry, keeps updating the YouTube Android app from time to time. This ensures that the users keep getting a refreshed experience which keeps them hooked on to the app.
