I get this message on my Facebook news feed when someone posts a YouTube video. Don't know why. It's worked fine for years. I am using Safari on my iPad. If I use the Facebook app it works fine. Any thoughts.
Thanks,
Dave

And i'm sure that chrome being owned by google, who also owns youtube also plays into it.
the easiest way to fix the bug is to use their proprietary app
April 3rd. Installed google chrome yesterday and started using it. Getting to know it etc. then today I notice all YouTube posts were no longer affected using Safari. Don't know what happened, maybe Apply didn't like the idea of people switching over to google chrome for a web browser. Anyway as long as my Facebook posts are fine I will switch back to Safari and keep my fingers crossed that everything will be fine.
I am willing to bet that your issues continue with Safari. Chrome will work because Chrome and Youtube are both owned by Google, who will write their code to work. Since Safari is owned by Apple and google and apple aren't exactly kissing cousins, it wouldn't surprise me to see the issues continue with Safari.
Safari cleared up for me, too, after installing Chrome app. Interesting. Hope it lasts, but not expecting. I'm just glad to have an alternative so I can interact on FB again, and who knows Chrome may become my preference the more I use it.
Likewise for me as well. No problem using Facebook on safari now although i was getting used to using Facebook on chrome.
Good to hear. At least it'll be something to offer folks.
When using safari on my iPad denied access to YouTube on FB.
