What happens when you play the content exactly?


Can you tap the there dots in the top right corner of the Youtube app and, tap on Quality? What does it say it's playing at?

Can you tap on Advanced and select a different quality with HDR?

What bandwidth do you have for your internet connection?

Are you connected to Wi-Fi or Cellular?

The bandwidth is whatever you are paying your internet service provider for.

You can verify what you are getting by using the Speedtest app from the App Store, or going to https://www.speedtest.net

It will tell you how fast your internet connection is.


If it does not say HDR next to the quality options, then it may not actually have HDR for that video.


Try this video which does have HDR and a number of quality options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ

That's odd, that its not showing the HDR options. I have the same iPad as you (2021 M1 12.9" iPad Pro) and as you can see it show the HDR option on mine.


Your internet bandwidth is great for 4K HDR.


Is your YouTube App fully updated? Check your App Store for pending updates.

That's the only other thing I can think of that may be causing the lack of HDR option there.

Is there anything I should look for in my setting is it possible that hdr got deleted or the coding for hdr doesn’t work on iPad ?

Not really. It may just be a glitch in the App, causing it to not show the HDR tag. There's nothing in the Youtube App settings to control this beyond the generic "Higher Picture Quality" setting under Video Quality Preferences.
