YouTube Says Videos Are Blurry for Some iOS Users, But a Fix Is Coming

Many YouTube users are experiencing issues with video quality, with videos defaulting to low resolutions like 144p or 360p. This occurs even when users have a strong internet connection that should support higher resolutions. Manually increasing the resolution often leads to buffering problems. YouTube has acknowledged the issue and is actively investigating the cause. The problem appears to affect iOS mobile devices, desktop computers, and Smart TVs. Android users seem to be largely unaffected by this quality problem. YouTube is aware that videos and short videos are impacted. The exact cause of the problem remains unclear, but YouTube is working to identify the root of the issue. A fix is being worked on, though no specific timeline has been announced. Updates regarding the resolution of the problem will be shared as they become available.
