In miniplayer, the video will continue to play as users navigate around the site. Users can also pause, play, and seek through videos without leaving the Miniplayer.
Additionally, users can click another video’s thumbnail with the Miniplayer up while browsing on Home, that video will load and play directly in the Miniplayer.
Users can also customise thumbnails for playlists using their own photos or create ones with generative AI. Users can choose an image from your camera roll, and personalize it with text, filters, or stickers. To generate a thumbnail with AI, tap “Create with AI,” pick a theme, and choose from the AI-powered creations.
Users can now also set a timer to automatically pause videos after a certain duration of time.
