Data safety

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
It was never that good, but it wasn't that bad either, until recently. The video screen gets very dark on mobile for no reason, and clearing the cache, enabling or disabling the image thingy mode. Even changing the device's theme from light to dark doesn't fix it. the only way is by closing and reopening the app. Fix this or I'm canceling my Premium subscription. I shouldn't have to keep looking for solutions for something I pay for, and it wasn't like this in the previous version.

Update: The video adding to different playlist at once still doesn't work. On top of that, when I go to history to see a vid I played from a playlist, I am only shown the Playlist ? ? Why are you changing things that work just fine ? Fix please. Thanks. - - Overall performance is dropping dead. Simultaneous errors running, I can't add a vid to several playlists at once, the ad bombarding is horribull.. Do you think that's enjoyable for people ? 👾 I hope you can fix that swiftly.

YouTube buffers when it's in my pocket.. doesn't seem to do it when it's on a table or propped up. super frustrating... ITS BEEN MONTHS AND THIS STILL HAPPENS TO ME DAILY!!! None of my other apps have this problem. Even if I download videos over wifi before watching this happens. I'm a premium subscriber. FIX THIS!!! almost a year later and this still hasn't been addressed. YouTube generally works when the phone is on a desk, but if I'm watching any longer content it will stop multiple times.
