Hi! So in Android, I recall that one can go into accessibility options to turn on rewind/fastforward 10 second buttons. In the iOS Youtube app or even in app settings, I'm seeing no such option. There is a clunkier way to get to these buttons (tap "premium controls" and a pane takes over half the screen with these buttons) and then hope you don't exit a live chat session or anything, but is there a way to re-enable these in iOS version of the YT app?
 
Can't help you with buttons, but double tapping on the video itself will move it forward or back 10 seconds depending where on the video you tap.
This. Double tap on the left side to go back and double tap on the right to skip forward.

Thanks y'all! Will remember double-tapping forevermore. :) (Just tested, works great.)
