YouTube hasn’t exactly had the smoothest few days on mobile. Just last week, some Galaxy phone owners reported videos freezing after switching away from the app and returning. Then, over the weekend, another problem began causing parts of YouTube’s mobile feeds to look as if someone had forgotten to load content. But the good news is that YouTube now says it has fixed that issue.
YouTube had acknowledged that some Android and iOS users were seeing missing video thumbnails and large blank spaces while scrolling through the Home, Subscriptions, and profile feeds. In some cases, videos, Shorts, and posts were replaced with black gaps or gray placeholder boxes, even though the app’s navigation bars and icons continued to load normally.
