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

WELL SORRY TO SAY, BUT THEY'RE NOT. LOOK UP THE MODEL NUMBER AND FOLLOW THE LINK TO THE FIX OR PATCH. IT'S REALLY NOT DIFFICULT, ONCE YOU FIGURE IT OUT.
I did restore many time to older versions!
didn’t work!
APPLE PLEASE FIX DAME ISSUES!!!!
really disappointed
Still an issue over a month later. I rolled back my OS but despite me having auto update turned off it decided to update anyway bringing the issue back. This is terrible service from Apple.
Oh and if Apple thinks this is a good way to get me to upgrade to the new ATV they are going to be disappointed. I’m not spending over a hundred pounds just to watch Netflix, YouTube and Prime.
That’s not the idea. They want you to watch Apple TV and buy and rent movies. YouTube, I’m sure is taking a chunk out of this revenue. What I think Apple should do is buy advertising on YouTube.
Agreed. Sent mine in.
Great idea. I just did it. Stated the facts.
Sent mine too.
Yes. I installed the patch and the problem is still there. Shame on you, Apple!
Same here, 7.6.1 hasn't fixed it!
Shame!
Due to fear of this attitude spreading to other Apple products, I won’t be purchasing an iPhone12 or any other new Apple products until this is issue is corrected.
Good
Maybe when this post will reach the length of 100 pages, Apple software developers will consider the possibility that there’s a real big issue and begin to work to fix it...
HMMM? WHEN WAS IT RELEASED?
