- Look out for a new Play something button: Imagine having a button that picks out a recommended video just for you. That’s exactly what YouTube is testing with its Play something button on the latest version of the Android app.
- How it works: When you tap the Play something button, a selected video starts playing through the YouTube Shorts interface.
