YTHoldForSpeed allows you to quickly toggle between a selected video playback speed by tapping and holding on the video player in the YouTube application. There is also the option to automatically apply the selected speed when a new video player is launched.

This tweak was tested on various versions of the YouTube application released between 2020 and 2023 with the last known working version being 18.28.3. The tweak has been tested on iOS 14.7.1 with checkra1n, iOS 15.1.1 as a sideloaded app, and iOS 15.7.5 with palera1n-c (rootless). It is compatible with all devices on iOS 13 to iOS 16.

Settings

Navigate to the Settings panel within YouTube to find a new section titled "Hold for speed." Here you can configure the following:

Hold gesture (please be aware that by enabling this feature, the stock "seek anywhere" gesture will be disabled)
Automatically apply speed
Toggle speed
Hold duration (in seconds)
Haptic feedback (only shown for devices that support haptic feedback)

Credits

This tweak likely would have never been released without the help from PoomSmart and his many open-source YouTube tweaks.

The "forward" icon was created by Anderson Ramirez and is available from the Noun Project.
