I know I can do that, but I'd rather not have to bother. It's actually easier to open a video in a separate app. In the YouTube app on my phone I can tap the Share button and then send it to the NewPipe app. Easy-peasy.

To delete things from my watch history requires me to remember to remove it. If I forget then I have to scroll through my history to find it. Not ideal.

I wish you could turn off auto-play when watching a video from a playlist. The general auto-play option doesn't have any impact on playlists.
