YouTube videos aren’t loading. How do I fix it?

My internet connection is completely fine but still YouTube videos aren’t loading. I’m facing this problem since yesterday morning. I’ve tried turning off the device, turning on airplane mode, reinstalling the app and resetting the network setting. Nothing's working.

iPhone XS, iOS 15

YouTube not playing videos in iPad Pro M4 Recently my iPad pro M4 cannot play youtube videos via my wifi network. When loading the screen is just flashing. I reset my wifi connections and then it worked for a couple of days but not any more. My wife and son can stream on youtube as normal using the same wifi using iphone 16 and 15 as well as a Macmini M1. On my iPad I can stream netflix and other internet services without any problem, just youtube. I have contacted youtube and followed all of their instructions but nothin works. I have also tried resetting my iPad to factory settinsg but that also did not work. So, I am at lost on what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks, Johan

YouTube Infinite Loading Glitch Any % YouTube app won’t load. Im on a iPhone 14, running the newest version on the App Store and my iOS is up to date. A few days ago YouTube simply stopped loading on my phone. I open the app to, rather than thumbnails, perpetually loading gray boxes. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app a few times, so it is now stuck on the welcome to YouTube screen, following sign in. If I bypass sign in with use as guest it’s back to the loading grey boxes. This has been occurring for days and I’ve tried a lot of basic trouble shooting. Disconnecting from wifi, trying on my cell service, trying a different wifi network. I made sure background app refresh was on and YouTube could use cellular data in settings. Still no dice. I even reset my network settings. Updated the app, updated IOS. Cleared browser settings and history because I figured it could be related. Cleared up like 2 gigs deleting old apps because I thought it could be a storage thing. Nothing has helped Any advice on what I should try next or some insight as to what may be going on would be appreciated.

Try simply refreshing the browser.

The issue you’re facing is when ads fail to load and the video won’t play.
