YouTube has added support for full-screen playback of Vertical Videos in their latest iOS app update.

Listen to Viticci. If 90% of people are going to view this video on a mobile device, and the intent of the video is not to display some grand artful vision, I’m better off if you don’t make me:

1. Switch off orientation lock
2. Rotate my phone
3. Rotate my phone again, because it didn’t work the first time
4. Start the video back from the beginning, because I missed it already
5. Switch orientation lock back on, because most apps have terrible landscape experiences
