YouTube comments have long been used to express opinions, ask questions, provide feedback, share insights, or simply react to the video you're watching. However, this can sometimes go south, and unexpected bugs can ruin the experience.
The Google-owned video sharing platform reached out to its community support forum to announce that YouTube comments are not displaying correctly for some users. YouTube has listed various ways the known issue can appear on your screen.
For instance, comments are only visible when the "Newest First" filter is chosen; they might disappear or hide when "Top Comments" is selected, or they may not display at all. Some users may not be able to sort comments by "Top Comments," or their comments may disappear after being posted.
"We're aware that some of you are experiencing an issue where comments aren't showing up beneath certain videos, and we're looking into it now," YouTube said, adding that it will follow up on the issue with an update. However, it didn't mention the regions where the problem is most prominent or specify the platforms (Android, iOS, or desktop) that are affected.
This comes about a week after YouTube ran into a different problem: the bottom navigation bar on its Android app wasn't displaying for users in different countries. YouTube has now marked that issue as fixed.
In recent updates, the video streaming giant took down a video that taught people how to self-host their media, citing policy violations. Its latest update for iOS brings bad news for people running old iPhones; several of them are now incompatible with the YouTube app.
While YouTube has introduced features like Google Lens for Shorts, voting for playlists, and trending podcasts charts, it plans to insert more ads into its cheaper premium tier later this month.
