YouTube Videos Not Playing, loading circle of doom, iPhone 8

ok, tapped on plus+ with 4 tabs open, shows 4 single boxes with the shred icon in upper right

I mean tapped on box with 4 in it

to correct myself, I tapped on the box with the number 4 in it. (deleted one box, now has 3) It shows all four tabs (now 3), with the shred icon in top right corner. No private option. Sorry for my mistakes.


I see this looks purple when uploaded here, it looks blue with a purple search bar IRL. It’s been this color as long as I can remember.
I wonder if I should just delete the app and dl a new one. Brave on the laptop doesn’t have this problem.

Looks like you’re in private browsing mode now – do you still get the same behavior in Youtube?

yes. Still the same stuff going on.

Are the videos you’re trying to watch the “members only” videos?

no I haven’t tried to watch the because I’m not a member.

Ok but what about playlist on Brave browser? I cannot do open any videos in playlist and the playlist doesn’t download videos!

@Guron Thanks for responding, I’m not talking about a YT playlist, I’m talking about the way they are grouped in the various channels. For example - Past Live Streams, Series, Past Video Uploads, Popular etc. Different channels have different titles to “groups” or “playlists” within their channels. So I am attempting to play videos from these lists within the channel when the white circle spins and will not play. I have no Brave Browser playlist. I have YT playlists and the “playlists” within channels made by their creators.
I also removed the Brave Browser app from my phone and dl’d a fresh one, I have the same problems.
