The new 'video quality preference' is a feature rolled out by | Vanced

The new "video quality preference" is a feature rolled out by Google itself with version 16.14.34, and it is not implemented in any way by the vanced team, which has led to user confusion and dissatisfaction with the new update. Apparently, with Google's forced implementation, the vanced "preferred video quality" feature breaks, resulting in excessive data consumption while watching videos.

To resolve this, please disable vanced "preferred video quality" for the time being by setting it to auto, and then you can easily use the new video preferences. Alternatively, you can choose to go back to older version using vanced manager itself.

Please be patient for future updates until the vanced team receives the feature, as it is not rolled out to everyone as part of A/B testing.
