But, suddenly your display shows- YouTube isn’t responding, or YouTube keeps stopping, your frustration will be on the seventh sky. It may be due to several reasons like- Not updated the system or app, corrupted cache, and low storage, etc.
Whatever might be the reason, mostly turning on flight mode and then turning it off again resolves the issue temporarily.
But, if you’ve been unlucky enough in the past with such a problem and the above trick didn’t work, we have a solution for it.
- Turn Off All The Background Apps And Then Start YouTube:
In most cases, this issue gets resolved easily when you turn off all the background apps and then launch YouTube. The reason why this issue occurred here is because of the low capacity RAM of your device and you were running several apps in the background. We suggest you not run any unnecessary apps in the background when your RAM is less.
- Restart Your Device:
If your RAM is sufficiently large and there is no app running in the background, but your issue has not been solved with the previous method, then restarting your device may get you out of trouble. Simply long-press the power on/off button and tap on the reboot/restart option. Wait until it gets rebooted and then relaunch YouTube. Here the cause of the issue may be some temporary bug that gets fixed after the reboot process.
- Force Stop And Then Start It Again:
