YouTube links not opening in app for iOS (2021)

Hi. Whenever I try to open youtube link, i will be directed to the browser instead of to Youtube app. And when I tap and hold it, it does not show option for "Open in Youtube" as well. Please, somebody can you help telling me the work around for this issue. Thanks

Hello youww_3.


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It looks like you are having some trouble opening the YouTube app from browser links. We will be glad to assist. Are you attempting to open the YouTube link from Safari? If so, after tapping the link, you should see the YouTube app banner at the top of screen prompting to "Open". If you are not seeing this, please see the resource below to troubleshoot possible app issues with YouTube: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open


Hope this helps.


Cheers.
