The YouTube app is great, but there’s an issue with video playback. High-quality videos at 1.5x speed or higher stutter, with the audio and video going out of sync, and the video freezing or lagging. I initially thought it was my phone, but the same issue occurred on another device, so it seems to be an app problem. This affects smooth viewing and needs fixing. High-speed playback is essential for many users, and it should work seamlessly. I hope this gets resolved in a future update.

When I click on any shorts, I can't see that short and it shows Video not available. Whatever short I can see later is broken, half of the screen is black and half of the screen is short video. The video quality also gets so worse, glitches in so many videos. Now with new update I can't even comment on any video coz comment bar is behind the three buttons of the phone.

Hello YouTube, thank you for opening this platform and updating it regularly. The shorts, the playlists and the watch history can all be managed and we can watch lots of shorts. This sure is a common app and I love watching videos on shorts as well. But one problem. The comments button when you add comments to shorts has disappeared. I can't comment on any video at all. Please fix this issue. I tried restarting my phone and also updating the app but nothing's working. Hope you fix this
