YouTube app not working. YouTube will not play unless I restart my iPhone. Tried deleting and reinstalling the app but still no luck. Any ideas please, as it’s annoying that I have to restart my phone all the time if I want to watch the video. Thank you.

The YouTube app works just fine on my iPhone. Are you signed into your account in the app?

Otherwise, you may need to reach out to YouTube support as Johnathan recommended above.

What did Google say when you contacted them about your issue with their service, application or website?
