Checklist

Describe the feature you want

There could be an option in the settings that enables automatically prefetching a video if autoplay is not enabled.

So if autoplay is enabled:

Video downloads, and autoplays

If autoplay disabled but "prefetch" is enabled:

Video downloads, but no autoplay

If prefetching is disabled:

No download, only start when tapping play, no autoplay

Optionally the feture can be dependent on what type of connection is present. So it could for example be set to only do this while on WiFi.

Maybe this could somehow be connected to autoplay itself? As an extra toggle under autoplay could appear (if it's disabled) that would enable prefetching while bot autoplaying. This could benefit people who although do not use autoplay ever, but would like a faster video streaming experience on WiFi.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

Additional context

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

Faster video streaming, more versatility.
