youtube black screen after clicking on the upload button (iPhone 16 pro IOS 26)

Whenever I click on the upload button on the YouTube application on my iPhone 16 pro, the screen turns black and I can't do anything. I have to close and reopen the app again to watch videos.

YouTube has been experiencing a lot of bugs and its developers (Google) have been releasing updates pretty fast. In the last 7 days, 4 updates have been released. The most recent update was yesterday (Sunday). Please download and update to the latest version of YouTube. Some users are reporting that they had to delete the old YouTube app first and then upload the latest version.
