Latest News:  Youtube

New update - Google told the media that the recent video loading times aren't caused by the company but rather, due to the newest AdBlock and AdBlock Plus updates.

If you feel the video loading times are longer than usual, you're not alone. According to a few posts on Reddit (like here and there), it has been confirmed that Google/YouTube has purposely slowed down the speed, particularly if you have ad blockers turned on. 

If you love the YouTube app, you might love this hack. According to MacRumors, you can still use YouTube in the background or when the iPhone is locked. Here’s how you can do it.

Apparently, Google has been developing a new feature on YouTube called Playables. As the name suggests, there will be a new section on the YouTube app to let you play games on it. At the moment, the beta version is rolling out to select users but here's what it looks like.

Google is at it again. The company has just raised the YouTube Premium subscription in seven countries - Argentina, Australia, Austria, Chile, Germany, Poland, and Turkey. Thankfully, Malaysia was spared but we also recently got one a few months ago so there was no need to. 

If you frequently use ad-blockers to bypass Youtube ads, this news might surprise you. Recently, Youtube launched a global effort to counter ad-blockers. That said, what should you know about it?

It's been almost a week since Apple released iOS 17.0.3 to fix the overheating issue. That was a hot topic among iPhone 15 Pro users after the launch and the update seems to have solved it. However, it appears that the true culprit behind the overheating was Instagram instead of the iPhone 15 Pros.

Looking for a fitness smartwatch? There are many options nowadays, making it hard to pick the best. But if you want what's arguably among the best, the Fitbit Charge series is probably the one to go for. And you know what? The company just launched its latest model.
