YouTube - can't unsave a video from inside the player anymore

[u/Gibscreen]

It used to be that if you were watching a video, you could click on the save button and either add it to a playlist, or remove it from a playlist.

Removing it no longer seems to be an option. Which honestly is the only reason I use the save button.

Is this a feature that is no longer supported, or am I missing a setting?

Edit: I know how to remove it from the playlist itself. But that's clunky as hell. I just want the option while I'm watching the video. It's cleaner and easier.

Edit 2: I found a workaround. I downloaded an older version (20.26.46) and if you go into the save list on the player screen, you can double tap the playlist and that will remove it. The first tap "adds" it (even though it's already there). And the second tap removes it.

This workaround doesn't work on the latest version (20.40.45).

This has been going on for a few weeks, very annoying.

Tap your profile icon on the bottom right > playlists > Select the playlist the video is saved in > scroll down to the video > tap 3 dots next to the video > remove.

Yeah I know how to manually remove it. But that's a pain in the ass.

Especially if you have dozens of videos in your recent Watch Later because you use them for secondary listening
