Discontinuation Notice: No more updates will be added to this page.
Original story (published on November 15, 2020) follows:
YouTube is easily the most popular video-sharing platform in almost every country in the world.
The site claims that it has over 2 billion monthly logged-in users and over a billion hours of video is consumed every day.
Despite having had its fair share of controversies, YouTube still remains the first place most individuals seeking to share or watch videos find themselves going too. And this might not change anytime soon.
But not everything works as it should and thus at times viewers, or even creators for that matter, run into issues or have to deal with pesky bugs that pop up every so often on YouTube.
Just yesterday, YouTube went down for many users across the world for a few hours. Viewers were greeted with an error message when trying to play videos on the site as per multiple reports.
YouTube did acknowledge the situation and fixed the problem for all users and provided a follow-up comment with an apology for the interruption.
Fortunately, major issues such as this do not happen often, however, less impactful bugs do annoy users more often than not.
We recently reported on a few bugs and issues on the site/app such as the bug which turns on captions automatically and the AS-10 error in channel monetization amongst others.
Usually, YouTube does a good job of acknowledging most bugs and issues encountered by users and fixes them within a matter of hours or a few days depending on the number of affected users.
It also releases updates regularly for the application on Android and iOS to make sure that any bugs that may be present are ironed out.
That being said, it isn’t always easy to keep track of which bugs have been acknowledged or fixed and which ones are still pending acknowledgment.
Therefore, in this post, we will be tracking the status of all existing bugs, issues, and pending improvements to the best of our abilities in order to help you save time.
The tracker below will be regularly updated as and when a new bug pops up or when there is any development on existing bugs, issues, or pending improvements on YouTube so it would be wise to keep an eye on this post regularly.
***************************************************************************************
New updates will be added in the section below and the tracker follows after that:
