Ad-Blocker

WiFi Settings

Proxy WiFi settings can disrupt the YouTube videos. • Go to the connection settings • Long press the WiFi connection and a new menu pops up • Select Modify Network option • You'll see a ton of stuff, Check if proxy settings are set to manual • If they are manual, set to 'None'.

Double Accounts

There might be 2 Google accounts being used to access the Play Store at the same time. • Make sure you're aware of the Google Account you often use to access the Play Store • Now that you are aware of the account, go to the YouTube application. • Make sure both addresses are same. • If the addresses are different log into the one you're using with the Play Store.

Drastic Measures

• Locate the application and uninstall it to remove the residual files. • Reinstall the application from Google Play Store.
