YouTube not working on Safari!

I have an iPad Pro and ever since ios13 came out, YouTube won’t work on safari... when you try and play a video the YouTube screen goes pixelated and it comes up with “Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid.”


works fine with Firefox and the YouTube app 🤔☹️

I think I found the problem... when we had the update, safari was automatically set to find the desktop version of the YouTube and other websites. Yet when I would go to YouTube, it automatically sent me to the mobile site. As a result of safari looking for the desktop version, it would say the mobile site had an invalid address. I went to settings, then to safari, and under the heading “settings for websites” click on “request desktop website”. Turn the setting to off, and you should be all set. Thanks to the other commenters who gave me the leads I needed to find this! Hope this works for you.
