Phones Canada is always on the lookout for new features that make using your smartphone more convenient. One feature that many of us find useful is a sleep timer for apps like podcasts and music streaming services. This handy tool allows you to set a timer for playback, ensuring that your phone doesn’t keep running all night long.

While YouTube Music and Spotify already offer this feature, the YouTube app itself has been missing out. However, according to Android Authority and app expert AssembleDebug, it looks like a sleep timer could be on its way to the YouTube app soon. References to this feature were discovered in version 19.25.33 for Android, indicating that users may soon be able to specify the hours and minutes until playback stops.

Here are some key points about the upcoming sleep timer feature for the YouTube app:

– The feature will allow users to specify when playback should stop.
– A notification will be displayed when the timer is active.
– Users will have the option to reset the timer or continue watching if they choose.
– The official launch date of this feature is still unknown, but it’s exciting news for those who enjoy falling asleep to their favorite YouTube videos or music.

While we wait for this feature to roll out officially, Android users have had to rely on third-party apps or system-wide timers on iPhone devices to achieve a similar effect. It would also be great if the sleep timer included an option to stop playback at the end of a video, similar to YouTube Music’s “end of song” functionality. However, this specific setting has not been confirmed yet.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new feature coming soon to the YouTube app!
