A few days ago, we told you about YouTube’s new video cleanup gesture, but it turns out that it wasn’t the only addition the app received recently. Another gesture is now deployed for users and it allows you to quickly jump to the previous or next chapter of a video.

The new gesture is complex enough that you won’t be likely to trigger it by mistake. It was discovered by Redditor u / magnatronmusic31 who noticed that double-tapping with two fingers on the screen while playing a video takes you to the next chapter. Specifically, we noticed that if you do this on the right side of the screen it goes to the next chapter, but if you do it on the left side it goes back to the previous one. You can see it in action in the GIF below.

Of course, this only works in videos with proper chapters, so the creator must have added the corresponding timestamps in the description.

Just like the other gesture, this one is still being rolled out via a server-side update. It’s live for me on 16.31.35 beta (APK Mirror), so you might want to grab that to maximize your chances of getting it.
