Greetings BobDenby,

I understand playing videos with YouTube is not functioning as expected on your iPhone 8 Plus.

Although the name of the support article may be different from the behavior you're experiencing, the troubleshooting steps mentioned within would be great to take for this situation: If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

Let me know how the provided steps work for you.

Cheers!
