As much as we all might want to stop people (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/14/horizon-ios-app-horizontal-video/) from recording vertical videos (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/09/vertical-videos-meerkat-periscope/), the Periscopes (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/08/periscope-update-friends-global/) and Snapchats (http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/01/snapchats-tap-to-view-takes-your-fingers-off-the-screen/) of this world have made these clips so prevalent that, sadly, they're just not going to go away. Giving in to the inevitable, YouTube's Android App (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/30/youtube-app-supports-60-fps/) is getting the ability to play vertical videos in full screen, rather than constraining them to an awkward letterbox designed for landscape clips. The feature was found by AndroidPolice (http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/07/21/our-long-national-nightmare-is-over-youtube-on-android-now-shows-vertical-videos-properly-in-full-screen/)in version 10.28 of the app, which is likely to hit Google Play at some point in the near future. Before you sprint to download the APK (http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-10-28-57-android-apk-download/) ahead of its official launch, however, just remember that this means that the bad guys have won.
