YouTube is changing the way you can fast forward watching videos on Android phones

If you need to skip a certain portion of a video or move ahead the timeline, you usually tap to a certain point of time on the seek or simply hold and drag the red dot on the seek bar to particular time. However, YouTube is changing this on Android phones, as per a report by Android Police.
Android phone users will not be able to tap to a point of time on the seek bar to fast forward or skip watching a certain time period of a video. If you wish to skip, you will have to hold the red dot and drag it. This was already the case for iPhones, but Android users had the option to tap on the timeline.
As per YouTube, disabling tap to seek will help prevent accidental taps that leads to a frustrating experience. Also, YouTube wants to offer a consistent experience across both Android and iOS.
