Sharing menu (YouTube) changed after upgrade to iOS 16.1

Suddenly, the sharing menu on YouTube has been reduced to five applications.

Please help me to get the full sharing menu for YouTube.

I compared the sharing menu of YouTube on another iPhone and it is working fine. I logged into the iPhone settings to see if there is an option to reset the sharing menu for specific app.

This is a screenshot with limited sharing option after upgrade.

This is the original or full sharing menu

I offloaded the application then install it but the sharing menu is still limited.

Please help me to restore sharing menu to its oringal state.

Also, I would like to know if this controlled by the developer of the application or managed by APPLE please.

Glad to know you got back the sharing panel.

The gray sharing panel (second sharing step – managed by iOS) is customizable (again, swipe right and choose ⋯ More).

I don't see a customization in the black one (first sharing step – provided by YouTube app).

Finally, I fixed the issue.

I logged into the settings, storage then offloaded Youtube then delete the application. After that, I downloaded YouTube from apple store. I can see the ellipsis button now.

But I am still not understanding how the black one is managed by YouTube developer but when i click on the ellipsis it managed by iOS.

Thanks Marco, but I am still facing the same issue. I want the gray sharing screen while I am logged into with my gmail account.

I am really confused sharing panel is managed by iOS or by the developer of the application. I would like to know more details please.

As far as I know the sharing panel you see in gray (aka Share Sheet) is managed by iOS and, as said, you can customize it by adding/removing apps you want to be available in the Share Sheet.

The previous sharing step (the "black" one), based on the graphic layout, is clearly managed by YouTube app.

Now, I honestly don't know why you can't see the "More" button if you're logged in. I don't have a YouTube account so I can't check the different behavior experience.

I'll still look around to find any reports to your issue, though, and in case I'll let you know.

On my iPhone I can reach the full share panel by swiping on the right and tap the ellipsis (More) button.

I’m glad you fixed it eventually.

Usually apps shows directly the iOS Share Sheet. YouTube app features a step more in order to land to the Share Sheet. It’s up to YouTube.
