Apple TV 3rd gen YouTube freezes when pausing video

After an update YouTube freezes when I pause video. The menu doesn't pop up and I need to restart the app every time.


I did reset the device and it didn’t help.

Thanks much for the quick response. I do have update 7.6.2 installed. My Apple TV is a version 3.2 model A1469


I first encountered this issue two days ago when streaming You Tube video on Apple Ipad 2 with IOS 14.3, which needs an update.


My Iphone was updated last night with IOS 14.3 and I just tried streaming to Apple TV device and video did not hang up.


So, hopefully Apple TV 7.6.2 is going to work with an Ipad update. Fingers crossed. Thanks for reply.
