Hello. The day before yesterday I got problem with mobile web version of YouTube when the lockdown mode was turned on: videos in mobile web version (all-any browser) of YouTube stopped working, although before that everything worked. So, I need a help
iPhone 13, iOS 17
Why did you activate lockdown mode? It is explained that this may (will) impact the functionality of websites.
It has to do with how YouTube codes its pages, and the tech it uses for that. Nothing that an end user can influence.

Turn off Lockdown.
Contact YouTube Support. They probably don’t support viewing with Lockdown enabled, though.
You can leave feedback about Lockdown with Apple, as well: Product Feedback - Apple
It’s not about of my using Lockdown mode, but about the fact that for no reason, mobile web version of YouTube stopped working. Discord too, by the way. I didn’t download or install anything unnecessary on my IPhone. A few days ago there was no problem and everything worked with Lockdown mode enabled.
Also, this is not universal problem. My friends are fine. They don’t have such troubles. Everything works for them with the Lockdown mode turned on, they checked.

I knew it. Remove the VPN, and the rest of the “etc”, and test again.

And presumably also removed YouTube, and force-restarted the iPhone, and then re-installed YouTube?
If so, check with YouTube support.
They may simply not support their app with Lockdown.

You’ve presumably removed all Safari extensions, and particularly removed all ad-blockers, and tested?
Check for differences or problems with an add-on VPN client or such.
I’d wonder if Lockdown is catching something locally that it should also be catching on the friends’ devices, too.
