YouTube working on ‘Play Something’ feature for mobile app: What is it

Google’s video streaming platform YouTube is reportedly testing a new “Play Something” feature for its mobile app which will let YouTube play suggested videos. According to a report by 9To5Google, the new Play Something button appears as a floating action button on the latest beta version of the YouTube app on Android.

According to the report, the Play Something button appears in place of the minimised video player upon opening the app. Tapping the button starts playing a video that has been selected by YouTube, taking the user’s video preference into account.
