Since its creation in 2020, YouTube Shorts has been the fierce competitor of Tiktok in the short content sector, but from recently, Youtube has had a little stay with problems that many users have taken. As indicated by people on Reddit (see below), a new bug automatically plays the Shorts tab as soon as you open the YouTube application.
The YouTube application opens on R / Youtube shorts
This problem has been completely underway for YouTube and has somehow resurfaced for more and more people in recent weeks. For many users, the application will open automatically to display its Shorts tab if it was the last visitor / used thing, as opposed to the opening of the YouTube home page as it would usually.
However, according to 9TO5GOOGLE, it noticed a growing trend where YouTube automatically launches short films, regardless of what was previously seen – and this is the case for free users and the payment of Premium Youtube subscribers. As it stands, it is not certain that this problem arises from iOS users, but 9TO5GOOGLE has noticed that Android devices – notably the NOTHING phone (3A) and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold – are victims of this boring bug.
To watch
There is no doubt that YouTube has contributed substantial attention to the launch of his response to the popular Tiktok short video flow, and even won an advantage with a clip remix function last year. But it is difficult to say if this bug is a minor defect in the system, or a tactic to bring more users to follow the youtube shorts.
How you can correct the YouTube Shorts bug
If you are an Android user who has problems with YouTube who plays your shorts as soon as you launch the application, there is a way to change this. As recommended in the 9TO5GOOGLE report, the opening and the coup, the application will not be enough to solve the problem, but the collapse of your storage / cache will help you.
Although this is the trick so that YouTube stop playing the Shorts tab automatically when you open the application, 9TO5GOOGLE says that the problem will come back when the shorts are open again. YouTube has not yet commented on his efforts to solve the problem, but we will update this story if new surface information.
