– Advertisement –Restart your Android smartphone
The majority of issues can be fixed by simply restarting the smartphone. Restarting fixes minor, transient flaws and problems. They receive a fresh start after the internal settings of the smartphone and the temporary cache of the programme are deleted. After a solid restart, try installing or updating YouTube to see if it works for you. If not, don’t panic; this is just the beginning and there are other approaches you can attempt.
-
Switch to Wi-Fi
The Google Playstore is configured by default to only allow Wi-Fi for programme downloads and updates. The best approach to double-check is to connect the smartphone to a reliable Wi-Fi connection after checking the Google Play settings. Try utilising a hotspot from another device if Wi-Fi isn’t available. See whether it works for you after updating and downloading the application.

Check Internet
Your smartphone may not have a strong internet connection, which is one of the main causes of your applications not updating. After making sure the phone is linked to WiFi, the following step is to make sure the speed is optimal. To see if you’re getting respectable speeds, visit OpenFast.com.

Switch to Airplane mode
Switching to Airplane mode will resolve any problems with your mobile internet service provider and network settings. By doing this, it will connect to the telecom tower or strong network connection that is closest to you. Drag down the notification panel and select Airplane mode to do this. Then, after 4–5 seconds, turn it back on to see whether the problem still exists.
-
Check Storage
Verify that there is enough capacity on your smartphone by going to settings and selecting storage. Even in the worst-case scenarios, it is usually advised to retain at least 1GB of free storage on board because storage concerns might also result in update troubles. In order to see if the application can install or update, consider removing and reinserting any SD cards you are using as external storage.

Clear cache and data
The programme on your smartphone may not be updating or may not be installed for a variety of reasons, including bad. Both the application and the Google Playstore may be to blame for the update issue. The primary cause of installation problems will come from Google Playstore. The steps are the same for both situations. Hold the application to see app data, and tap it to see the settings. Clear cache and data by going to storage.
-
Check for system updates
If your Android device’s operating system cannot run the most recent version of YouTube, the programme won’t update and will cause problems. Running the most recent operating system update on your device is always encouraged because it comes with a security patch that is necessary and crucial for the security of your system. Check for updates by going to Settings > About Phone (This setting may differ on all the systems, search for updates in settings to find similar results).
-
Reinstall the application
Badly saved files or a bugged update are further causes of the application’s improper behaviour. Reinstalling the application is the only method to address the problem. The application will launch from scratch once you reinstall it, and an upgraded version may include bug patches. Hold the application in place while removing it. Download the YouTube app once more from the Google Playstore.
