Next, check your network connection and change the settings. Finally, if nothing else works, try reinstalling the YouTube app. Those simple methods may help you solve your problem, but you must try them all before you get the desired results. Here are some quick tips to help you fix YouTube on your mobile device. Here&#8217;s how!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restarting_your_device\"><\/span>Restarting your device<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Restarting your device to fix YouTube is a good way to start troubleshooting any problem on your device. Some users report that turning off their device fixes their issue, but you must know how to do it manually. To turn off your Android device, press and hold the power button for a few seconds. To restart your iOS device, open the Settings app and go to General -&gt; Reset. Scroll down to the Settings menu and tap on Reset Network Settings. Follow the steps that are listed in the following paragraph.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reinstalling_YouTube_app\"><\/span>Reinstalling YouTube app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If the YouTube app has stopped working on your Android device, the easiest way to fix this is to reinstall it from the Google Play store. You can do this by lightly pressing the app icon and selecting the &#8220;Uninstall&#8221; or &#8220;Delete&#8221; options. Once the app has been uninstalled, you can visit the App Store and search for the YouTube application in the search tab. After locating the app, tap &#8220;Get&#8221; or &#8220;Install&#8221; to install it. If the problem continues, try reinstalling the app from the Play store again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_your_network_connection\"><\/span>Checking your network connection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, your internet connection isn&#8217;t perfect. The next time you try to watch YouTube, you might experience problems connecting to the site. Before you do anything else, check that everything is set correctly. If you can&#8217;t find the problem, you can reset the settings by turning off and on Flight mode. Disabling Bluetooth and turning on Flight mode can also fix the problem. If none of these solutions works, try to reboot your device.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clearing_the_cache_in_your_browser\"><\/span>Clearing the cache in your browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a problem with YouTube, you might have to clear your cache in your browser. This is an option in your browser&#8217;s settings that is a temporary fix, but it can become a pointless task if you do it frequently. Every website keeps cookies from each visit and YouTube is no exception. In fact, it creates more caches than any other site. If you want to clear the cache in your browser, follow these steps.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabling_and_reenabling_the_default_audio_playback_device_on_your_PC\"><\/span>Disabling and reenabling the default audio playback device on your PC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This method is useful if you&#8217;re experiencing an error playing YouTube videos. If this problem persists after you&#8217;ve disabled and enabled the audio playback device, try disabling it and then reenabling it. Sometimes this will fix the issue and make YouTube play again. Alternatively, you can try restarting your PC to fix the problem. Hopefully, one of the methods above will solve your problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_the_server_status_of_YouTube\"><\/span>Checking the server status of YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most important ways to check the status of your favorite streaming video website is to check its server. YouTube is the world&#8217;s largest video site and is owned by Google. While many users rely on YouTube for entertainment and their work, it can sometimes experience problems. Here are three ways to check the server status of YouTube. Using Twitter: Most people start by checking the server status of YouTube on Twitter, and the updates there may help others who are having the same issue.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"513\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"287\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MgtYF9Pbt8Y\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Fix YouTube on Your Mobile Device If you have trouble watching YouTube on your mobile device, the first thing you should do is restart it.
