Eh, the $11.99 is readlly to get rid of the ads, and is well worth it, IMHO, if you watch a lot of things on YouTube.
Got a tip for us?

It's a feature specifically for "YouTube TV" (their replacement for cable TV), not "YouTube" (their video collection/streaming site).
I don't think that's right. I just updated the YouTube app and the feature is there. I don't have YouTube TV. Yes, I'm a premium subscriber, but the setting was not previously there and had to be activated over the web. Now, I see some bug fixes and the settings for the feature. Try updating your YouTube app. Go to its App Store page directly if it doesn't appear on the update list. Sometimes it takes days to show up in the update list yet is available if you go to the page directly. It shows it was updated yesterday.
I think YouTube Premium should be included with YouTube TV. The damned service has gone up to $65 per month. At least give users something. I was a happy customer when it launched at $35 per month. Even when it went up to $40, they "grandfathered" us at $35. Then it went to $50... I wasn't too upset because I felt like it was still a deal compared to cable with the DVR... and they added channels. But when they went to $65, it really felt bad at that point. They said it was because they were adding new channels... including Viacom channels... but they dropped Fox Regional Sports channels... which my wife used to watch the AZ Diamondbacks. At that point it felt super forced... and I felt like at this point, they could be offering tiered services... that way if we didn't want to get the new channels, we could stay on cheaper plans. So now, I just use a combination of my handful of streaming subscriptions. I still pay for Netflix... but that keeps going up... trying to convince the wife to drop it. We get Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, Discovery+ all free from Verizon. I pay for STARZ & Paramount+. I use my mom's DIRECTV login to use HBO Max, and many of the other cable channel apps. We get by fine.
I just want to make sure its really matured very well. I like upgrading on the cusp of a new release. So, soon as iOS 16 is announced at WWDC or about to be, then thats when I will jump on the most current commercial release.
What even is YouTubeTV? Cut the bs and bring the feature to the regular YouTube app.
Finally this is the one thing I hated about the iOS app. Good to see it on or with the Android version.
YouTube is such a money hungry company.
I‘m a user since 2008, but for the last 3-4 years YT is advertising so heavily, that I can’t stand it anymore. Also, with 13€/month it is the most expensive Streaming Platform for „low quality“ content, that mostly has channel sponsors. Now I get ads EVERY 4:20 min!!! 2 Ads of 20sec each. I mostly like travel videos of 20-40 min. Can you imagine seeing the annoying Google Phone Ad 10x in just half an hour?! For the last 6 months?!

Isn't it comforting seeing Apple fans give fair criticism to every company except Apple, even when warranted?
I wonder why...
While their at this, they need to return to standard api controls for the TV app. It’s atrocious.
Totally different in this issue there are many things to say: security, future update, certified support, updated Configurator 2.
Instead YouTube simply disabled a features which Apple has created and active by default
