UPDATE: The issue seems to have been fixed. Let us know in case you are still facing problems.
Original story follows:
If you are getting a blank home page on your YouTube app or on the website today, it’s worth knowing that YouTube is currently undergoing an outage which seems to be affecting users worldwide. The Youtube website currently shows no recommendations, while the app (at least on Android) says “something went wrong.”
The DownDetector service shows a very sharp spike in user complaints, before the graph came slightly down.
Upon checking further, I realized that watch history and downloads are available. So, it seems like a partial outage that’s impacting only some parts of the video sharing service. I am looking for more information on this front, and will be updating this article in real time, so keep checking back.
Meanwhile, do let us know how you are impacted by this outage.
Developing…

My interest in technology and writing started back in 2010. Since then, I have written for many leading publications, including Computerworld, GSMArena, TechSpot, HowtoForge, LinuxJournal, and MakeTechEasier to name a few. Here at PiunikaWeb, I started with covering smartphone related breaking stories as well as some other interesting stuff, but now I have switched over to more of a leadership role. I also take care of several operational aspects of the website. Some of my current responsibilities include business development, and working with Piunika to make sure we’re progressing as envisioned. If you want to get in touch, I am active on LinkedIN, and also available on Twitter/X.
