The issue affecting iPad users on YouTube for approximately 1 week, which caused video titles, descriptions, channel information and comments to disappear when exiting full-screen mode, has been fixed.
The company announced that it had resolved the bug with the update numbered 21.33.6, released on the App Store. Users experiencing the issue need to update the app to the latest version.
Why it matters
This bug disrupted access to the context of the content and user interaction more than video viewing itself. When information such as the title and description is not visible, users may have difficulty following the subject of the video they are watching or the channel from within the app; the disappearance of comments also renders the discussion section unusable. For this reason, the development concerns those who use YouTube on iPad not only to consume videos but also to assess content and interact with other users. Since the fix depends on an app update, users experiencing the issue need to check the version on their devices. However, the information provided does not explain which additional steps users should take if the issue persists after the update.
