YouTube is testing a new feature that updates view and like counts in nearly real-time as users watch a video. The change, which was quietly enabled over the past few months, updates the counts approximately once a minute. This feature was announced by Google in October but is now widely rolling out on YouTube's Android app.
YouTube is now refreshing the like and view counts of videos in real-time on both the web version and Android app. The counters are updated with a small animation even when the video is paused, and they are also refreshed in the background, allowing users to see the latest count when switching between tabs or apps. However, the feature is currently only widely available on the web version, with no option to turn it off.
