The issue started around August, and despite updating the YouTube app several times since (and re-installing too), the issue persists.
Everything works normal on Wi-Fi connection, and this is the only time I had this problem. I have an iPhone 8 with iOS 14.8.1, but consider updating to iOS 15. Any and all help would be much appreciated!
iPhone 8, iOS 14
Hello luciano_6,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We understand YouTube will not work using cellular data. We're happy to assist you with this.
It's always good to keep your iPhone updated. Apple's updates contain software that is crucial to the operation of your iPhone. Let's go ahead and make sure you have a current backup of your iPhone and update it: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Also, make sure Cellular data is turned on in Settings > Cellular > YouTube.
Best Regards.

Greetings 1ssmith,
Thank you for your timely and concise answer. Going into Settings > Cellular > YouTube worked, as it seems I had forgotten to turn YouTube back on after coming back from abroad.
Once again, thank you so much, and best regards to you too!
Can't connect to YouTube app with Cellular Data
