Hi everyone,
I have recently been experiencing issues with the YouTube app on my iPhone 8 running iOS 12.4.3. For example, when I am in the 'library' section of the app, and I scroll to the 'most recent' videos list, VoiceOver is only reading the durations of the videos and not the titles of the videos so I only know what I am watching when I open the video. Furthermore, I am unable to navigate to other sections in the 'library' including the main 'history' section and the 'watch later' section. I am also finding that when I watch a video, VoiceOver is not navigating to the description. Is anybody else experiencing these bugs?
I am planning to report these things to Google (I have waited a while just in case there was an update addressing these issues) but for now, could anyone recommend an accessible alternative? I know I could access YouTube through Safari but I prefer to use apps. If possible, I would like to be able to sign in to my Google account so I can access videos I have previously watched and suggestions based on my watch history. I also have a YouTube Premium subscription so if anyone could recommend an app that supports the features of YouTube Premium (no ads at least) then that would be much appreciated! However, any accessible app that allows me to watch YouTube videos will be fine for now until Google fix the issues in their own app!
Thank you in advance for your suggestions,
Alice
