on my s23+, for months now, I have been having issues with the app closing for no reason after I leave the app. also, i have YouTube "premium". but when I turn my screen off, background play will work for maybe a minute, before stopping. i gotta turn the screen on, so the video will continue. this is new, this didn't happen before. background play no ads is literally why I use YouTube premium. yet 50% of the functionality is borderline unusable. also stop forcing yt shorts when i open the app!

I'm not usually a person to complain about the ads, but let me tell you that the ads are obnoxious on lomger videos. I get 1 or 2 at the beginning, then I get another 2 in just one minute of the video, then 2 more two minutes later, and so on. Ads are important for ad free apps but at the same time, it gets extremely annoying. It's really not necessary to show a million ads in one video down your throat, I just want to enjoy YouTube without problems.

The glitching seems to be getting worse, and by reading other recent reviews, I know it's not just my phone. We shouldn't have to close the app and restart it every couple of videos. Even then like just now, I'm having to close and restart multiple times in order for the glitching to stop. Even though after watching a couple of videos, the glitching starts again 6/15/25 FIX THE DANG GLITCHING YOUTUBE! COME ON!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬
