'Sleep timer' is a function that ends video playback after a specified time has elapsed. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to call up the menu and tap 'Sleep timer'.



You can choose when the video should end from: 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, or end of the video.



While the timer is running, the remaining time is displayed at the bottom of the screen.



Additionally, while the mini player on the iOS and Android versions previously appeared as a bar at the bottom of the screen, the new version is displayed on top of the existing screen like a picture-in-picture.



Players can be positioned anywhere on the screen.



In addition, the playback speed has been changed from 0.25x to 2x in increments of 0.25, but now it is in increments of 0.05, allowing for more precise adjustment.

Updates with new features will be released sequentially.
