Youtube app slow on iPhone

Hi all, I have a rather confusing problem with video buffering while using youtube app. Playback is slow, always goes into lower resolution and when I try to skip forwards it takes about 20-30sec to load.

My internet speed is OK and youtube works great when on Safari with Mac or iPhone. It's just the app that cause problems. Is there a workaround?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

If the issue persists after completing all of those steps, can you provide a few more details? When did you first notice this? Also, which iOS version do you currently have installed?


Cheers!
