- YouTube’s playback controls are broken on the Android app.
- Playback speed controls are still functioning properly on the YouTube website and the iOS app.
- On Android, you can tap and hold for 2x speed, but you can’t change the speed settings from the gear icon.
The YouTube app for Android appears to be experiencing a glitch that has effectively broken the playback speed controls. Currently, attempting to change the playback speed of a video doesn’t work as expected, with most users stuck at the default 1x speed.
