    Where has my google keyboard microphone gone?

    Damn this was painful. I did clear the cache which didn't help, so I then EVENTUALLY (can't remember how now) got to settings/general management/keyboard list and default/Keyboard button on navigation bar. Which for some reason was switched off. Before all this, there was a microphone symbol at...

    Where has my google keyboard microphone gone?

    Until a couple of days ago it was at the very bottom left of my screen below the keyboard, next to the navigation keys (Galaxy A13). Now it has vanished, and I can't work out how to get it back or do speech to text on all my apps like messages etc. I've done updates, restarted and all but to...

    Re. Youtube, how do I "don't recommend channel" with shorts?

    There are a few shorts regulars in my feed that are ai voiced and are very annoying. But of course because I click on them because the content looks interesting, they keep coming up. The channel is not displayed beforehand like normal videos, nor is the option to stop seeing them.

    How do I stop my lists (eg watch later) from autoplaying?

    On the youtube app, but it seems to be the case on PC as well

    How do I stop my lists (eg watch later) from autoplaying?

    I often watch them in bed and fall asleep. It's very tiresome to wake up to find the whole list has played through, or to be woken up during the night by the ongoing vids. I understand I don't have to watch playlists, but it's nice to have the option.

    Has youtube gone back to the old miniplayer?

    Not sure what you mean. Does what?

    Has youtube gone back to the old miniplayer?

    Ok just to clarify, please bear with me. Does the miniplayer (by which I mean the miniplayer that is present while you are still in youtube) you are talking about have resizeable with the pinch motion? Does it have distinctly rounded corners? Can it be moved anywhere on the screen?

    Has youtube gone back to the old miniplayer?

    You mean it seems the same as the change that happened a few weeks ago? Or have you never noticed any change? It changed to the clunky one a few weeks ago on my Samsung phone and tablet, and a couple of days ago it changed back to the old better miniplayer on both.

    Has youtube gone back to the old miniplayer?

    It looks like it. Good thing too, that thing they tried was a mess! The size and position was always changing, and you sometimes couldn't even see it because it camouflaged itself when there were similar colors on the main screen behind it!

    The new youtube in-app popup player/window is awful.

    The X is there yes, but it was the case on the previous one where just a casual swipe down anywhere on the miniplayer would close it, without having to actually look and aim for the X. The new miniplayer apparently has that feature too but it's taking me 4 or 5 swipes to make it actually go away...

    The new youtube in-app popup player/window is awful.

    Oh ok, just tried it. Nice, thanks! Still isn't easy to swipe away tho, am I missing something there too?

    The new youtube in-app popup player/window is awful.

    Not sure what you mean by picture in picture. I mean when you swipe down on the currently playing video, it goes to a miniplayer in the bottom right corner of the screen. Until recently it was a good viewing size and also easy to swipe away to stop that vid playing. Now it's tiny - so small as...

    The new youtube in-app popup player/window is awful.

    Especially on tablet. It's half the size of the old one, and it's fiddly and resistant to swiping down to dismiss.

    Volume button noise!

    I have a Motorola Razr M, good phone but the volume buttons are in a spot where they get accidentally pressed all the time, and my cover makes them even more prominent. I have Volume Locker so the volume reverts automatically, but the tone every time I accidentally hit the buttons is driving me...
