YouTube Said to Be Testing ‘Play Something’ Floating Action Button in App

YouTube is testing a new feature called Play something in its mobile app for Android users, designed to help users choose content. This feature appears as a floating action button (FAB) in the YouTube Android app version 19.50. When engaged, it plays videos within the YouTube Shorts interface and can also play standard YouTube videos in portrait layout, with interactive features like liking, disliking, commenting, and sharing. A timeline scrubber appears for navigation, but the FAB disappears when the YouTube mini-player is activated. Additionally, YouTube is testing a vertical scroll gesture for video navigation and has expanded its AI-driven auto-dubbing feature for transcribing and translating videos between English and various languages.

The Rise of the Golden Idol review

The Rise of the Golden Idol is a sequel to The Case of the Golden Idol, set in the 1970s and centered around a mysterious artifact that resurfaces, leading to a series of violent events. Players investigate crime scenes, identify key figures, and piece together narratives from clues found in frozen scenes with subtle animations. The game features a more complex narrative compared to its predecessor, with seemingly unrelated incidents that connect to the central mystery. The art style has evolved to a smoother aesthetic while retaining its quirky essence. New interactive features enhance gameplay, such as examining a TV show recording for clues and toggling between different states of a room to reveal critical information. While some character motivations may feel underexplored and the recap puzzles lengthy, the game remains a captivating detective experience for both returning fans and newcomers.

This includes static apps with only text or PDF files, applications with very limited content, and apps without a clear purpose. Google will also remove apps with broken functionality that crash or operate abnormally. The changes will not affect apps already downloaded by users.
