Not even speaking about all the ads in the default YouTube app without a subscription.

The app is basically useless in my opinion. It defaults to freaking 240p for every video. My phone is definitively not the problem, also not the Internet connection. Watching in Firefox on the same connection gives me normal expected quality.

This was better on some “feature phones” without touchscreen!!! YouTube app works and playback is in 720p / 1080p

    Tbf my official YouTube also defaults to some shitty quality even on wifi, on my desktop and tv it always goes to 4k. I’ve also configured it to high picture quality or whatever.

      If you go to settings>advanced>you can straight up choose the quality video will play at.

        My settings are set to the highest quality.

        I’m using revamped now anyway, and it works flawlessly.
