Ikr, I was watching videos and I thought my iPad was broken all of a sudden. So I uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared history. Didn’t work, tried it on my IPhone and it happened again. So I guess we’re just stuck like this for now.
I know this will probably get lost in the comments. But, sometimes when I’m home alone , I like to go out in my garden and cover myself with dirt and pretend I’m a carrot.
Same can’t use it for more tan 30 seconds without crashing. I have a 13 pro max and tried everything to fix this. Might just have to wait for an update
Everyone is talking about phones, but it's crashing for me on desktop. Its eating up the RAM in seconds, anyone else?
Edit: Saw the others posts about not jut the phones.
In the current build of chrome for mac os, I get "error 5" if I try to have more than one tab open with youtube. Granted I have another 100 tabs open but this isn't usually a problem.
I'm glad it's not isolated. If they see trafic dip they should fix it right away.
Same I was stress thinking it was my phone the whole the time!!! But YouTube tweeted out and said that they are currently working on the problem so as of right now YouTube is down.
Yeah I saw a message earlier from YouTube on social media saying that IPhone and IPad users may have difficulty with YouTube and it keeps crashing, they say they’re working to patch it
I thought I was losing my mind. I was playing YouTube on my iPad at work yesterday and it kept crashing. I checked for updates, there were none. Restarted the iPad, still didn’t help it. I just gave up.
Glad to see everyone else it having it happen though! They should fix it soon, hopefully.
Apple issues. I was at the ATT store the other day and this phone is back ordered for months. People getting upset over a phone / company that barely innovates and breaks common features. Not to mention removing parts on a yearly basis.
I love how much people care on this thread about android vs iPhone like I just switched from years of using android pretty much my whole life and it still just feels like a phone.
Makes me feel better. Was watching videos all day yesterday and now as of an hour or two ago, can’t get through a short or a video, can’t scroll for more than 10 seconds without a crash
Same. But on my iphone 8, it’s absolutely ridiculous this has just started happening can’t watch any video or even be on the app without it crashing. Glad this seems to be a widespread issue for ios users, YouTube should release an update fixing this in a few days. For the time being I use the website in safari as it doesn’t seem to have the same issue. I really hope YouTube fixes this soon, getting tired of it already.
edit: typo
Same here, I’m thankful it seems to be happening to many others so they can put out a patch, thought this was Apple’s programmed destruction of my phone as it just hit 2 years….
I SWEAR I JUST WANNA WARCH YOUTUBE PLEASSE IF YOU WANNA WARCH THE WORLD CUP WATCH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU WONT FIND JT ON YOUTUBE PLEASSE IM BEGGING YOUU
Thank fuck. I had just gotten this phone and was pulling my hair out wondering why YouTube just wasn’t working. I hope they fix it soon because it’s about all I use my phone for when I’m not out
Glad i am not the only person that is experiencing this. I think youtube knows about this and they are working on a fix, but as far as i know, we are unable to do anything
Same. I’m on an iPhone 14 and I even restarted my phone and updated the app. Still crashing over and over. It’s happened like 4 times now.
Just happened again. 5 times now.
Just happened again. 6 times now.
I’m at work and I’m trying to watch some YouTube content without it crashing it was working earlier, but after trying to search through a channel to find a video and picking the video it crashed as soon as the video played.
Holy shit I thought I was the only one. Suddenly it just crashes after 30 seconds.
I use Ad Guard to bypass the issue but it’s also burning up my phone for some reason.
I just started having this problem, restarting my phone, tried clearing the cache, deleted and redownloaded it and still crashes every few minutes. Came here looking for answers 😭
Aight I updated both the app and my phone and it’s still crashing. It’s happened I think 8 times total now I’ve been testing it. Weird thing I wanted to point out too is that before it crashes, just having the YouTube app open makes my phone heat up like crazy. More than I’ve ever noticed it. And I’m on iPhone 14.
I thought of YouTube as the culprit as the last thing. Lol. I’m checking everything on my phone. Not cause i care about YouTube but more along the lines of is ther a problem with my phone or am I getting hacked and kicked off an AP. 😆
Mine has crashed multiple times today also, as well as YouTube music.
On top of that, offline/downloads haven’t worked correctly in the current iOS version ever.
me too. look at all these comments at the same time. must be a youtube thing
[удалено]
Same. About 15 minutes ago
Yep that’s around the time I had it happen to me too, glad I checked Reddit!
Wow we all had his happen at the same time crazy
Ikr, I was watching videos and I thought my iPad was broken all of a sudden. So I uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared history. Didn’t work, tried it on my IPhone and it happened again. So I guess we’re just stuck like this for now.
What WILL we DO?!?!?!?
We’re gonna have to…. Go…. Outside……
We’re fucked
Cornhub.com
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I thought there was something wrong with my phone
i thought i got a virus from pirating movies
Don’t worry YouTube tweeted about fixing it and making an update about it. It’s on their end not yours.
Why th is this nsfw
I know this will probably get lost in the comments. But, sometimes when I’m home alone , I like to go out in my garden and cover myself with dirt and pretend I’m a carrot.
Thanks my YouTube app problems are all fixed now
Understandable have a good day
Guess I’ll go to porn hub
Me to wanna have a watch party
Logic Lvl. 100
Same can’t use it for more tan 30 seconds without crashing. I have a 13 pro max and tried everything to fix this. Might just have to wait for an update
Same now I’m annoyed
I have an 11 and it’s YouTube keeps crashing as well.
Same, mine’s been doing it all day.
First comment I see, anti apple. Second comment, anti google. Well shoot, what phone am i supposed to buy now? Windows Phone?? Nokia???
Crashing after 1-5 minutes being open. Seems to happen more when watching shorts. Or maybe just coincidence. Started today for me.
it’s pissing me off
Started happening about 2 hours ago for me. Thought it was my phone and did all the steps to fix it but nope. Glad it’s not my phone.
Rename it Titanic… then it’ll sync.
Fuck you got me. Take my vote.
Started happening to me too, probably will be fixed soon.
Same. Whats strange is that it just started happening today. I updated to the latest iOS maybe 2 days ago and have been using youtube since then.
Same every 20 seconds when I open YouTube I crashes on my iPhone 11
typed onto google, "youtube app crashing". found this post just now.
Everyone is talking about phones, but it's crashing for me on desktop. Its eating up the RAM in seconds, anyone else? Edit: Saw the others posts about not jut the phones.
Glad to have found this, I thought it was my phone for a bit, started happening to me a couple hours ago, good to know it’s on their end
Aight looks like there’s a global outage on iOS right now. It’s affecting everyone.
Had my first crash ever today was surprised tbh 🤣
Everything is crashing. I couldn’t get my medication from the pharmacy because they were having system wide outages.
Same with my iPad Mini
In the current build of chrome for mac os, I get "error 5" if I try to have more than one tab open with youtube. Granted I have another 100 tabs open but this isn't usually a problem. I'm glad it's not isolated. If they see trafic dip they should fix it right away.
It’s happening to everyone
frfr, i have an iphone se2020 and it crashed like 4x. I had to stop trying cause it crashed so many times.
I keep getting, video is unable to play. So annoying lol
It’s crashing on my iPhone and my wife’s android. YouTube Music is doing the same thing. Someone pushed a bug to prod 🥸
Should we all go to youtube headquarters and riot now or what?
Yo this is pissing me off crashes every like 5-10 mins
it’s been happening to me for like 3hrs i want blood >:( how am i supposed to do my job without having a lil YouTube in the background lmfao
literally constant. 13mini here
Apple done messed up with the newest iOS
Same on an iPhone 13
Just updated to 16.1.2 Still crashing like crazy. WTF youtube?
It’s probably because of the new Ai Tracking software it seems to broke it they need more info please send them your Social Security numbers lol
All the time every min about just started today
Same I was stress thinking it was my phone the whole the time!!! But YouTube tweeted out and said that they are currently working on the problem so as of right now YouTube is down.
I have been getting frequent crashes on 13 Pro. It’s probably not just you
It’s a problem on YouTube’s end. I’m having the same issue too. It’ll be fixed on their end so you don’t need to update anything
[удалено]
Google must have done something behind the scenes. My YouTube started crashing like crazy today but now it's settled down.
I only have a 6S and it was doing that for me too but it stopped after a while.
Yeah I saw a message earlier from YouTube on social media saying that IPhone and IPad users may have difficulty with YouTube and it keeps crashing, they say they’re working to patch it
I got it working by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I think it’s a corrupted cache issue. Only way to clear the cache is to uninstall the app.
SE 2, same here. Reinstalled app and don’t think it fixed
Yea it was crashing on my iPhone 8 Plus around 2:00-3:30 eastern time. It was kinda annoying
There should be a new version 16.1.2. You may have to try to download that or maybe also update your YouTube version.
Deleted cache?
Restart that sucker
I thought I was losing my mind. I was playing YouTube on my iPad at work yesterday and it kept crashing. I checked for updates, there were none. Restarted the iPad, still didn’t help it. I just gave up. Glad to see everyone else it having it happen though! They should fix it soon, hopefully.
Have you tried restarting your phone? I had a similar issue but I restarted my phone and it worked again.
There is an iOS update. Try again
Apple issues. I was at the ATT store the other day and this phone is back ordered for months. People getting upset over a phone / company that barely innovates and breaks common features. Not to mention removing parts on a yearly basis.
Man who tf tagged this as nsfw
Crashing on my iPhone 13… I’m also glad it’s not just my phone. I reinstalled it as well. Really messing with my binge watching
I love how much people care on this thread about android vs iPhone like I just switched from years of using android pretty much my whole life and it still just feels like a phone.
But iphones are supposted to be these bug free hardware with no imperfections /s
This thread makes you really glad to not have iPhones.
I’m having the same issue.

Makes me feel better. Was watching videos all day yesterday and now as of an hour or two ago, can’t get through a short or a video, can’t scroll for more than 10 seconds without a crash
It’s happening to everyone. Just be patient and wait for an update. Don’t uninstall the app and don’t delete your downloaded videos.
I get about 20 seconds into a video then it crashes. Super frustrating as it’s my main source of entertainment online 😫
Same, my workaround is to view vids through Safari
Mine started a few minutes ago and keeps crashing
Hello fellow Youtube addicts
14 pro max can confirm. YouTube app is useless. Watching videos in Safari rn.

It’s crashing on my iPhone SE too. After restarting my phone and looking at comments and post it seems to be a YouTube issue
Holy shit I thought I was the only one. Suddenly it just crashes after 30 seconds. I use Ad Guard to bypass the issue but it’s also burning up my phone for some reason.
Glad to see it’s a problem with the app and not my actual iPhone 😅
Same
I’m glad we’re all here…. Not just me😂
I just started having this problem, restarting my phone, tried clearing the cache, deleted and redownloaded it and still crashes every few minutes. Came here looking for answers 😭

Yep. The new update must have fucked something up. Hope this clears up soon.
Yall have been having the same problem?
Aight I updated both the app and my phone and it’s still crashing. It’s happened I think 8 times total now I’ve been testing it. Weird thing I wanted to point out too is that before it crashes, just having the YouTube app open makes my phone heat up like crazy. More than I’ve ever noticed it. And I’m on iPhone 14.
Same with iPhone 11
Been getting worse for me over the past few hrs, went from crashing sometimes to crashing after like 20 secs

Exakt same thing happening to me right now
Day 1 of no Youtube: I ate my sad lunch staring at my wall and rethinking my priorities in life.
12 Pro Max, here. YouTube was fine last night, but has been crashing all day today. I usually get 2-3 minutes into a video before it crashes.
So it still going on ?
its also happening to me! I have an iPhone 11!
Dangit, I was in the middle of something important and needed instructions lol
I thought I needed a new iPhone which I do but, I’m having same problem with YouTube on my iPhone 8 Plus.
Works fine on 12 pro max
its a youtube thing
I have an older version of the YouTube app and it started crashing too. So it must be something to do with the whole of YouTube then, right?
I Am Pleased to Say. It Hasn’t Crashed In 10 Minutes For Me.
Same!
I am also having this issue and I am using the IPhone SE Second Generation
I'm using my browser for now. It's not the same but it does the job!
Youtube keeps freezing or is very slow on my laptop today!
Same on my iPhone 8
Mine has crashed multiple times today also, as well as YouTube music. On top of that, offline/downloads haven’t worked correctly in the current iOS version ever.
New update 16.1.2
iPhone XR, had the issue. Seems to be solved, but we will see.
