How do I create a shortcut for a YouTube channel on my iPad? I have created many on my iPad by clicking add to home screen however this no longer works. You just end up with a shortcut to YouTube and not the specific channel.
iPad Air 2, iPadOS 13
I've just tested my iPad Pro 11 with iPadOS13.4.1. I was able to save several bookmarks to my Home screen in the fashion that has always been done. Next I tested several pages from YouTube. I would say this is not a bug, but an intentional change in what YouTube allows you to save. I also tried saving the same pages as bookmarks. All of them worked as bookmarks. Like I said earlier, I believe this is something that YouTube has done, since they spend the early part of your visit trying to get you to download their app to use, and will not allow all features to be used in Safari. I would address your question to YouTube.

I don’t know why it no longer works. When you create a shortcut it just becomes a shortcut to YouTube rather than a specific channel.
It seems to be a problem with iOS 13. I have found other people complaining about this very problem on reddit. The shortcuts worked on my iPad until it was updated. It’s a bug that perhaps will be fixed with the next updated. Thanks for the help anyway.
Why does it no longer work? What happens when you try?
You would need to do it while you are either at that channel page, or a particular video page. If that does not work, then it is something about how YouTube handles a bookmark.
