The YouTube mobile app has a super handy feature that lets you double-tap the video to skip a few seconds forward or backward. By default, this time is 10 seconds, but you can actually adjust that length.

If you're not familiar with the gesture, it's a big time saver. Simply double-tap the left or right side of the video, and you will skip ahead or back 10-seconds. This is much easier than trying to use the seek bar.

Doubel tap left or right side of screen.

What if 10 seconds isn't enough for you? Maybe it's a little too much? We can fix that. First, open the YouTube app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.

Select your profile icon in the top right.

Select "Settings" from the menu.

Select "Settings."

Go to the "General" section.

Select "General."

On Android, look for "Double-Tap to Seek." On the iPhone and iPad, it's called "Skip Forward and Back."

Select "Double-tap to seek."

Now choose one of the time increments from the menu.

Pick a time length.

That's all there is to it! This little customization option takes an already very handy feature and allows you to make it even better.
