Since upgrading my iPhone X to iOS 12 sharing a video from Photos is missing the YouTube option. I can still upload to YouTube directly from the YouTube app, but does anybody know what happened to the share from Photos option?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), i5, 512 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM
In this very thread, back in October, Garyh550 shared a link to a similar discussion on YouTube Help Forum, and two posts before last (sorry, can't link to the actual post, but the topic is closed and the post should forever be two before last) JNPR_boy offered a solution that I just successfully tested. Deleting the YouTube app & restarting the iPhone brings back the icon to the Share menu in the native Photos app; sharing that way is also wicked fast (and still asks the usual question about title, description, quality, privacy, etc.). Put YouTube app back on that phone, and puff! that sharing option directly from the Photo app is gone.
This confirms what the original poster already heard from Apple Support: it is Google, not Apple, who decided to remove the sharing & force users to use the YouTube app.
Very much so agree Doug! I just got off the phone with Apple and they told me to contact YT buh that makes NO sense to me! It’s in my iPhone PHOTOS that’s not allowing me to share!!!! I should have NEVER updated my phone. I swear everytime I do I am HIGHLY disappointed!
I don't know. It doesn't sound like that necessarily to me.
Yes it does just like when google / YouTube froze out the Alexa Show from access YouTube videos.
In this case, Google would have no incentive or reason to remove the ability to share videos from iOS Photos. That explanation doesn't seem to make sense.
Ok then if that is what you think, where is the app!!! with every single person sharing photos and posting videos on YouTube where is it..............
And don’t tell me a multi billion dollat company forgot to put it in there newest solftware upgrade, especially when it was always there................
I’m not alone in my thoughts ................

Of course they do. Keeps you in their app, giving them your data.
Yes that works, I just had to change my YouTube access settings in the main phone settings menu and restart the phone. Thank you!
That's nuts. Why would they remove that option?
How do you do it within the YouTube App? I don't see any upload option.
Cheers.
I can upload videos from YouTube, but not in HD. Share from Photos is missing.
I’m all updated but mines still there. But when I tried to use it it wouldn’t work. The upload button stay grayed out.
Any videos stored in iCloud fail to upload through the YT app. This is pretty sad. All my videos older than a week or two fail.
Now I can no longer share my photos to Instagram
Sharing videos in YouTube from Photos app gone in iOS 12?
