YouTube error with S22 Ultra

[Jun1214]

I am currently having a problem with my S22 Ultra; YouTube bottom navigation bar has disappeared out of the blue. I checked my software is up to date, cleared cash and data under settings/Application/YouTube, uninstalled updates under app settings, re-updated YouTube on Google Playstore and lastly restarted my phone. Surprisingly, if I switch to my second Google account (which I don't use), the navigation bar appears perfectly at the bottom. Let me know what else I should try for troubleshooting.

It's a known issue. See if you can uninstall updates as some have tried that with success. Others have said creating a widget on the home screen will then launch the app and work properly.

It's an issue with the app that's been there for a while. Google knows about it.

Use Brave for YouTube.

Hi Jun1214,

Sorry to hear this issue from you regarding the missing YouTube bottom navigation bar on your S22 Ultra. Since the issue only occurs with your primary Google account and not the secondary one, this suggests it might be related to your account settings or app data tied to that profile.

Here are a few additional steps you can try:

1. Sign out and back into your primary Google account within the YouTube app to refresh your profile data.

2. Clear cache and data for Google Play Services. Settings > Apps > Show system apps > Google Play Services > Storage > Clear cache/data).

3. If you use YouTube Premium, ensure your subscription is active and try toggling any experimental features in YouTube Labs (if available).

4. Try reinstalling the YouTube app completely by uninstalling and then reinstalling from the Play Store.

Let us know if these help or if you need further assistance.

Thank you.
