Stop watching and listen before updating! YouTube app keeps crashing
You may not be a YouTuber who makes a living by making videos, but you may not necessarily rely on the YouTube video platform any less than a creator to pass the time or even study. Therefore, if there is a problem with the official app, I believe it will make these people feel extremely troubled – at least, judging from the recent reviews of the YouTube app for Android on the App Store, they are indeed quite angry…
After the recent update of the YouTube for Android app, many users found that they did not do anything too complicated, they just simply clicked on the video to watch, and then the app crashed. The sign of this is that information including descriptions, comments, and related videos cannot be read, but the video itself can be read.
“It seems” that there is a problem with the server related to the video additional information, causing the app to directly crash and display “YouTube isn’t responding” (this part is just a guess).
Foreign media have been observing this problem for several weeks. Although users can actually continue watching videos by switching to the web version (both mobile and desktop versions work fine) – If you have urgent need, but needless to say, it is still basically unacceptable to many users.
Some people have found that the current solution can be solved by installing the beta version of the YouTube app version 19.03.35 – but because the test quota is full, it has to be installed through the relatively risky sideloading method.

That is to say, the author also discovered that the YouTube app had actually launched an update on January 23, 2024, 2 days before this report was published. However, at this point in time, you can still see comments related to the inability to open the video.
Currently, some people on Twitter pointed out that this may be a problem encountered by the Pixel 8 series with a beta system installed. However, some people using other mobile phones responded and mentioned that they also encountered this situation.
In short, since the beta version no longer encounters this problem, this means that Google should have a high probability of finding a solution to this problem in the next official version update. So friends who really don’t want to sideload apps but accidentally update the app and encounter this situation may just use the web version first and wait for official subsequent updates.
