Although the YouTube mobile application has been known for a long time to limit the quality of videos when using mobile data, a feature has now entered the beta testing phase that will help users customize the experience to their liking. Beta testers, which will include all YouTube Premium subscribers in the near future, can specify the quality of videos they want to watch depending on their connection status. Newly, the application no longer differentiates only between high-resolution videos and low-resolution ones. When choosing video quality in the future, it will give you a choice between data saving options, high quality, which will play video at 720p resolution and higher, and automatic detection of the best possible video quality, familiar even in the web version of the service.

YouTube announced the testing of the new feature back in June, and since then it seems like the ground has collapsed. A lot of details are still unclear to us - like if we will be able to manually change the video quality in the app after the update and specifically choose the exact resolution, or if we will have to trust the preset quality settings. More detailed settings of mobile data usage are certainly useful for many people today. Mobile internet tariffs in our countries still do not offer satisfactory ratios of price and offered data limits, so saving valuable data is the number one priority for a large number of users.
