To enable pinch to zoom, open YouTube's settings menu either on your phone or from the website. As long as you're subscribed to YouTube Premium, there should be a "try new features" section, reported The Verge.

Currently, the only feature available for testing is the zoom function. It seems there might be a delay between opting for the test and actually being able to use the pinch gesture, as The Verge in its testing was unable to zoom in closer on any videos immediately after toggling it on. But once it's active, users should be able to zoom in at up to 8x.

There are already ways to zoom in on YouTube's content with various accessibility functions on Android and iOS, and obviously, it's very easy to do so in a desktop browser. But having it as an optional native feature in the mobile app is all the more convenient.

Last month, YouTube finally delivered picture-in-picture mode for iPhone and iPad after first testing it among premium customers; that hugely useful feature has long been available on Android, as per The Verge. (ANI)
