YouTube now allows you to stop recording what videos the user watches
Privacy continues to be one of the most valued features by users. And it is that, in a world in which everyone can access all kinds of content on the Internet, not everyone wants the rest to know what you visit, what you see or what interests you Something that has spread to the platform of YouTube videos, which is now updated with new features to safeguard the tastes and interests of the user, avoiding leaving a record of the content they visit.Even when YouTube does not have pornographic or excessively compromising content
This is a small update with only one feature discovered inside. Issue related to privacy and the videos the user has just watched. And now YouTube can allow pause the addition of recently viewed videos to the user's history.A simple feature that would allow to stop creating a history with the current contents, preventing the same user or others from knowing what they have just seen. Something that will avoid more than one red face to someone
To date, the history of YouTube allowed the user to review all the videos viewed on this portal. Something like the history of visited pages of an Internet browser, but with the videos of YouTube This is a convenience to review or find again a video seen some time ago and that, for whatever reason, is not able to find it with a search to use. But it can also be a source of embarrassment for users who occasionally view children's videos, or perform searches that they cannot justify to friends and family, despite that the history can only be visited by the user himself.
Perhaps to avoid this last point, the new version 10.18 of YouTube for the platform Android has included the option to pause the history of watched videos When accessing the menu Settings and enter Privacy, the user will find this feature. Once it is activated, the history of watched videos stops increasing in number by not adding the last viewed content.
This option accompanies others that were already present, such as pause the search history In this way the application stops reflecting, if the user wants it that way, what contents have they recently searched for and viewed Something that was originally useful to find lost content, but that can also be a attack on privacy if it gets into the hands of others. All this without forgetting that the contents of YouTube usually do not show pornography, real violence or other similar issues.
For now, this new version of YouTube for Android has begun to be published in stages through Google Play The option has also begun to be seen in version web , so hopefully iOS users will also get it coming soon
