Ratings and reviews

I 💕 love YouTube! Who doesn't? it's got everything that you could possibly ever want. It's social media's powerhouse app. I enjoy everything available onthe app. The only thing I really could possibly think 🤔 of that I would like would be having the option to use the music 🎶 that you have saved on your playlists or any music on the app. for that matter, to be able to use a clipping of the media as a ringtone. Maybe even being able to save the music on your phone (the device storage).

On my other devices, I have no issues but for some reason on my Galaxy S9, the brightness of videos is extremely dim (regardless of bitrate), to the point watching the videos is impossible. The brightness dim is strictly on the video alone, thumbnails in portrait mode are two to three times brighter than the video playing above on the same screen. Not a device issue, only affecting video playback in the YouTube app and every video attempted Tried every setting possible, nothing helps.

Update removed "manage videos" from channel profile for "organization" and apparently put it in studio without telling anyone, but it's really not in studio, the simple ability to select multiple of your uploads to put into a playlist is gone, the only way is to manually add to each playlist which is so time consuming it effectively ruins channel playlists, in an update for "organization" untill this is fixed 1 star from a long time channel.
