How do I upload to YouTube on Android?
is what YouTube's all about, but there's so much more you can do, like uploading your own videos, messaging other YouTubers, and all those settings that'll help make your experience more enjoyable and help keep your data usage to a minimum.
Here's how to manage YouTube so that it works for you.
How to change upload network preferences
You can set whether or not you want to upload videos when not connected to Wi-Fi. If you don't want to eat up too much data, you'll want to upload only when connected to Wi-Fi.
How to limit mobile data usage
How to manage notifications
How to disable Autoplay
Do you find it ridiculously annoying when you've played a video and the next suggested video starts immediately after? You can turn that off.
How to enable/disable Restricted Mode
Restricted Mode is a way to filter content that may be deemed inappropriate for children. It can get a little annoying, though, if you enjoy reading the comments, since it hides those by default (because YouTube comments).
How to change content location
You won't be able to view region-locked content, since that has more to do with your Google account and other factors, but you can change what videos might be suggested for you, as well as what ads you see.
