Is YouTube crashing repeatedly on your iPhone? If yes, then you are not alone. Recently, many iPhone users complained that as soon as they open the YouTube app, it either closes immediately or freezes and stops responding. The good news is that Google has acknowledged this problem and now a solution has also been given on it.
Google advised iPhone users
Google has said that users were facing this problem on both iOS and Android platforms. But iPhone users have been specifically advised to uninstall the YouTube app from their phone and re-install it from the App Store so that they can get the latest version.
The company says that this problem was related to the old software version, which has now been fixed. Earlier also the YouTube team suggested a temporary solution to delete the app and re-install it. Many users benefited from this method and their app started working properly again.
Google said in a statement, “The problem has been resolved, if you are using an iOS device, please reinstall the app. We are grateful for your patience.”
What should you do now?
If you are running YouTube on iPhone and recently the app was crashing or freezing frequently, then all you have to do is delete the app and install the new version (20.20.4) from the App Store. This not only removes old bugs but also improves the performance of the app.
Some Reddit users believed that this problem may be due to ad-blockers, but now it is clear that the real reason was a glitch in the software version of YouTube. So if you were also facing any problem in your YouTube app, then this simple suggestion from Google can solve your problem.
