I CHANGED MY PROFILE PICTURE BUT THEN WHENEVER I COMMENT ON A CERTAIN VIDEO , MY PROFILE PIC IS STILL THE SAME! I ALREADY CHANGED IT HERE AT YOUTUBE , G+ AND OTHER GOOGLE APPS , STILL MY OLD IMAGE IN YOUTUBE IS THE SAME! PLEASE FIX. AND ALSO , THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEOS WHENEVER I PLAY IT , THAT SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY CHANGED TO A HD ! YOUR UPDATE SUCKS. I'LL GIVE 5 STARS IF YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIX IT.

This new update that I got 4hrs ago needs to chill. I can't click off the video nor pause it and if I can pause it I can't play it. I have never had issues til now. The format has pissed me off but that was just cause in my opinion you where going from a fine format to a worse format. Fix this and I'll change my stars, but this is such a terrible issue I couldn't think of changing the stars.

I downloaded YouTube on my smart TV, but the version it downloaded is the phone version and not the TV version so I cannot sync YouTube on my TV with my phone. It works and everything but it's very inconvenient not being able to synchronize it. My TV is a polaroid with android on apparently 4.4.2 system version. Any way I can solve this issue?

The official YouTube app is awesome!! Suggestions are always spot on, loads up videos quickly, and works really well at connecting the YouTube community. Note, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and recently updated to Android 7.0 Nougat. This introduced a range of features and one of those is 'Optimized' settings. It limited the screen resolution output of my Galaxy to 1080p, so maybe you saw 1440p disappear. Just dig in your settings and change your display to put out full resolution and you'll be good to go. I was frustrated with only 1080p showing up just a little while ago until I realized the new feature Samsung brought in. Hope this helps!

With the new update came Google new attempt to piss off the entire internet again. Not only did we have to get used to another change to the menus that is less functional than the last but now you can't disable a useless double tap seek feature

Lorena Machado

With the new update, most of the videos I've watched so far only played the audio but not the pictures: instead they were pitch black. And the last video I watched, instead, was completely mute when it shouldn't. PLEASE fix this problem!

The update a few weeks ago broke it for me on both tablet and phone. Now video is stuttering and app seems to demand way more compute power. It is not an Internet connection issue, as other apps run smoothly. Hoped for the next update, but it didn't fix it. Literally can't watch YouTube anymore.

Christiaan Karsten May 26, 2017

I liked the older style home page where videos are grouped together much more, and the thumbnails were also smaller. This new version is horrid and I can't get the previous version back. This is not an improvement at all! At least give us the option to chose which layout we prefer

Nicosha Singleton May 26, 2017

I don't completely understand the purpose to change the layout. Why? Change it back to what it was or at least give me the option to go back to the previous layout. Put the menu tabs back at the top it makes no sense to be at the bottom.

Freddie Meyer May 25, 2017

On Pixel XL videos now will desync audio and video when backgrounding/split-screen and the video plays at 10fps. Very annoying and I have to seek to new spot in video to fix it. If this was fixed it would easily be 5⭐ Now all videos are dropping frames and the video barely plays (audio plays fine in the background). Seems to happen much more often on long streams near the end of the video. Somehow the app has gotten 1000x worse in the last few months. Are there no Pixel XLs at the Google office to test the app?

Alejandro Vazquez May 26, 2017

I have a MotoG5 and YouTube app doesn't run videos at 60fps, but if I go to YouTube on the browser and change to "computer view", I can watch 60fps videos with no problem, I don't know why this works like this. But I will prefer if I could do it directly from the YouTube app

Gio Buenaventura May 24, 2017

Worked great before... The new update clearly isn't optimised properly and it won't even start now. Enough with all the fancy layout changes and keep it simple. We just want to watch videos not admire a new layout every week.

Tech Master May 19, 2017

Are you guys the laziest team at Google? Do you even use your own app? I think it's pretty self explanatory. Just use your Android app for a few days. Then come back to us and apologize. And stop putting the same thing as your update notice each time.

NotAMemer May 26, 2017

I liked it alot... Until a glitch happened. The glitch was that everytime I play a video,it would go freezing,the video still plays,but I can't move or anything. And the only thing I can do is exit out of the app. Please fix this.

Elsy Jurado May 26, 2017

I loved this app until the latest updates . I am currently using a youtubeRed free trial and loved it, I was planning on paying the subscription monthly mainly because i love to listen to uninterrupted music but recently my playlists stop out of nowhere all the time it is so annoying specially while driving! i have to stop what I'm doing to check out why the music has stopped!! it is always the same message "an error occurred tap to retry" ugh definitely not paying for the expensive subscription, I never had a problem like this with Spotify and their subscription is less than half the price than YouTube's very disappointed hope it gets fixed.

little harley May 21, 2017

It's very good but lately I've been having some problems. When I watch a video there are no recommendations and I can't see or write comments due to some kind of error. Could you plz fix this?

Ahmad Solihin Ishak May 24, 2017

The new comment section layout is just annoying. Most of the time I passed time reading the comment when waiting for the video to load and almost everytime I accidentally press close for the comment section. So I have to open up again and again the comment section which is just a hassle. I think the previous layout is more comfortable.

Matthew Robinson May 26, 2017

Good but I doesn't show more when you go on your channel and press videos and scroll down it loads shows more and then more fades doesn't give you a chance to press it please fix this annoying issue, also why when someone comments on one of my videos it says 7 comments when only 1.

May 26, 2017

YouTube is a great site for the future of the new year and the year of the first two weeks of the month before the end of April as I am in the process of making the purchase of a new product or service that is not a problem with the other side of the house and the rest of the world is a lot of money to be paid for the next few days and I will be in touch with you and I will be there with the most common reasons to do so and then you can get a better idea of what to do with your life and your own personal needs

IsaacDDestroy May 26, 2017

A friend downloaded the new update, I hate it, will not be downloading. So please keep supporting the older UI/Version.

Andreas Ströher May 26, 2017

I understand that you have to play ads to keep up the service and I have no problem with that. The only thing i would really wish, was that you would atop ads during the videos. It's just plain annoying and unnecessary!

OnlyTakeMoney May 24, 2017

New update ruined this app, once i click on s video all other functions freeze up and i can not do anything but close the app. You guys over at google need to test your updates before shoving them down users throats.

May 21, 2017

It is Great App....but i have a request that Please add a Most Popular , Newest and Oldest Button like on PC and browser when We use Youtube ...it will become easy To search videos then and through channel ...it becomes Diffcult what is The most Viewed Video of the Channel by searching all down ....So Please Act upon my Recommdation

A Google User May 26, 2017

The new update doesn't let me pause or anything while the video is playing. Nothing happens when I tap the screen. I have to exit the app and reopen it but the same happens everytime I play a video. It's not my screen, I've already tried using other apps and it works fine.

H. S. M. May 25, 2017

It's so sad to see a good app like this being destroyed by too many ads. I understand that this is business, but ads sometimes become distracting and so annoying that I watch videos using the browser with adblockers on!!!

May 26, 2017

I used to LOVE THIS APP. But It's getting SO ANNOYING! When I'm watching a video and I tap the screen, it doesn't work. It's not my phones problem because the screen is working right now as I type this review. There was this add I watched and it said "skip add" on the right side of the screen, but when I pressed "skip add", it didn't skip the add. I was watching a video and I was trying to rewind it and when I tapped the screen so the bar at the bottom would show up with the pause button, the rewind button, and fast forward button, it wouldn't come up. I'm getting pissed off at this.

ChrisplayerTV May 26, 2017

When I go on to my channel and then got to videos, and I want to scroll down to see my old videos it doesn't load the ones at the bottom. This "glitch" already happend to me in an older yt update. Now it's back. PLS FIX!!

TTD1313 May 26, 2017

Screen is completely unresponsive when put into full screen mode with the new update. REALLY frustrating. Never had issues til today.

Lucas Leme Pan Martinez May 24, 2017

Horrible new design. Also, the watch later feature could get much better (auto delete watched videos at least and quick + button to create this list)

Haley Watson May 19, 2017

Poorly optimized and missing a large number of features. Prone to freezing and crashing if you have videos saved offline via YouTube Red.

A Google User May 26, 2017

5-26-2017. Updated 2 latest update only to loose all options to pause, click on anything in description. EVERYTHING. Sept clicking on the next video or others. Running Android 6.0+ with Samsung j3 (6). Please fix ASAP!

Phoenix Entertainment May 23, 2017

My phone is a galaxy grand prime and it can go higher than 480p, but for some stupid reason the app doesn't allow videos to go any higher than that. And I know my phone can go higher than 480p because if I go on my browser app and switch video quality from 480p to 720p it looks like the video got less blurry. Please fix.

mohammed pagdhiwala May 26, 2017

Why you had deleted taarak mehta ka ooltah chashmah old episodes it's not there please bring that videos as fast as possible because I love watching that videos again and again.

A Google User May 26, 2017

Well the last update fix the freezing issue but now there's a new problem, video slows down or drop frames and the audio continues and goes out of sync. Also video's still start in 420P...why?!?

Fayez Alofi May 26, 2017

I wich to add some features like speed and translation and others ... --—--------------- I can't watch YouTube videos any more every time gives same error message. All that comes after I last update.

V3D Furious May 25, 2017

Its ok but there are so many ads (xiaomi redmi note 4 x) and sometimes when i spin my phone to go to full screen it just doesnt work

Cat Seal May 25, 2017

Best way to see videos via mobile devices Note: If someone says "too much ads!" Don't blame YouTube blame the video creater

Chris Hiciano May 19, 2017

Don't like it because 1,it has too many ads.make ads like 10max or 3min sec.and 2,in some videos it always buff every 3 seconds so I have to lower the graphics/quality to make it stop.i'll rate 5 five if this changes.oh and one more thing,can you make it so YouTube doesn't require wi Fi.

Barry Shulman May 24, 2017

This is the original you tube and is the best but google changed it back to a terrible way and had had no right changing are devices it's your device and im the one to send them feedback to change it back to normal .That's like somebody getting into you're car and driving off Barry shulman.

scuzzy May 26, 2017

Update the app so we can change the speed of videos from the app. And stop asking me to try YouTube Red if I've already declined 20x

What's New

We fixed the tubes that bring you videos – and some bugs too.
