    The YouTube application for iPhones is a mobile-only implementation of the popular online YouTube browser-based platform. The app streamlines all of the existing content from YouTube into a condensed, mobile-friendly layout. Essentially, all of the same content can be accessed, regardless of what device is used for viewing said media.

    From a technical point of view, this application is very safe. As a Google product, the software can be relied upon to be free from malware or viruses. This is even more relevant when considering that iPhones are fairly resilient when it comes to viruses; with a locked-down OS, and apps vetted by Apple, it is rare to experience such problems.

As a result, it has remained fee-free to-date. However, there is an optional, paid-for subscription called YouTube Red.

  • Why is YouTube for iPhone quality bad?

Resolution can be adjusted through settings when streaming content.

  • Why is YouTube for iPhone freezing?

    There could be a number of factors that prevent smooth playback of YouTube videos, or even freezing completely. Ensuring an uninterrupted network connection, users should swipe closed to reboot the application, before reinstalling if the issue persists. Failing that, the device's storage may need to be cleared or increased.

  • Can YouTube for iPhone play in the background?

    For users of the free YouTube application, the company have made efforts to prevent this feature from being accessible. Background streaming is intended to be reserved for subscribers to the paid-for YouTube Red service. Although workarounds do exist, they are continually being found and blocked by Google.

  • How to sign out of Youtube for iPhone?

    Switching accounts within the YouTube applicaton on an iPhone couldn't be simpler. All that's required is to tap on the account photo icon, tap on switch account, and then tap on 'Use YouTube signed out'.
