Recently, iPhone Xs users have reported a frustrating bug when trying to play YouTube videos on their devices. This issue seems to be causing videos to freeze or show a black screen, leaving users scratching their heads. If you've been facing this problem too, don't worry, we've got some tips to help you troubleshoot this YouTube bug on your iPhone Xs.
The first thing you can try is to check your internet connection. Sometimes, a slow or unstable connection can lead to video playback issues. Make sure you are connected to a strong Wi-Fi network or have a stable cellular data connection to rule out this possibility.
If your internet connection is not the problem, the next step is to force close the YouTube app and then relaunch it. To do this, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen. Swipe left or right to find the YouTube app, then swipe up on the app to close it. Once you've done this, reopen the YouTube app and see if the issue persists.
Another workaround you can try is to restart your iPhone Xs. Sometimes, simply restarting your device can resolve various software glitches and bugs. To restart your iPhone Xs, press and hold the side button and either volume button until the slide to power off slider appears. Drag the slider, wait for your device to power off, then press and hold the side button again until the Apple logo appears.
If restarting your device doesn't do the trick, you can also try updating the YouTube app. Open the App Store, navigate to the Updates tab, and check if there is an update available for the YouTube app. If an update is available, tap the Update button next to the YouTube app to install the latest version.
In some cases, clearing the cache and data of the YouTube app can help resolve playback issues. To do this, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, find the YouTube app in the list of apps, tap on it, and select Offload App. This will remove the app but keep its data. Then, reinstall the YouTube app from the App Store.
If none of these solutions work, you may want to contact Apple Support or Google Support for further assistance. They can provide more in-depth troubleshooting steps or escalate the issue if it's a widespread problem.
We hope these tips help you get rid of the YouTube bug on your iPhone Xs so you can enjoy watching your favorite videos without any interruptions.
