Data safety

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
You would think Google would try and make one of their flagship apps on their phones (pixel 6a) run incredibly stable, but no. Anytime you turn away from this app or shrink it down to minimal screen, then close and come back to it... You get the "black screen of death". There is no returning to your video you were watching. There is no way to wind back that video. If it's still playing, there is no way to change videos. To solve the issue, you must clothes and reopen as a new session.

Really good app, works smoothly. I use it constantly. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE provide a setting to switch off the damn Google Doodles in the top bar! Or at least to switch off their animations. The movement is incredibly distracting and annoying, and it keeps cycling. I don't like the stupid doodles in the first place, but at least if it's a static image I can ignore it. Five stars for the app, minus one for the annoying doodles.

The ads...I watched a video that was about an hour. By 15 minutes in, YT had given me 3 ad breaks. 2 ads each. Unskippable. It just gets worse and worse as time goes on, it's just ads on every channel, every video, multiple times. It is so irritating and it recently (within the last year or so?) Got completely unreasonable. It used to fine. Some ads are fine, but this is more ad time than content.
