Feature description

Kindly add the ability to hide the back button in Shorts. It is located on top-left corner of shorts.

Motivation

Earlier it was hide-able & provided a fully clean look. So, it should be brought back.

Will try & report if I'm getting the desired results.

Inotia added this inform note ,because there was no way to hide that button earlier ...

I think now it is possible by comparing what google removed in the newer updates to get rid of that button 🤔🤔

inotia removed the ability to hide back button because it caused the top toolbar to glitch/disappear and then the user had to restart youtube to get it back

In my opinion, it should be brought back for people want neither top toolbar nor the back button.
