YouTube – Rewind and Fast-Forward in Videos (10 seconds)
You are watching a video using YouTube for iOS and want to watch part of it again. So far not an issue, until you try to rewind a YouTube video on iPhone. Either you go to far, or not far enough, because your finger is too big for the screen. There is however an easy solution to rewind YouTube videos that also works to fast-forward YouTube videos and it’s a simple Touch gesture. With a double tap you can easily jump 10, 20, or 30 seconds back and forward.

YouTube: go back 10 seconds
Trying to move through a YouTube video by manually moving your finger on the time line takes time and is also very imprecise. Usually you do not hit the right moment. Using a double tap gesture is precise to the split second and much easier than fumbeling with the timeline and the YouTube play button.
Just double tap on the left side of the video you are currently watching to rewind 10 seconds in a YouTube video.
