YouTube is fixing the bug that made homepages go blank

YouTube recently had a bug that caused the homepage to appear empty for many users. Instead of the usual video suggestions, the screen showed nothing or very few videos. This issue affected people using different devices like Android phones, iPhones, and web browsers.

The problem seemed to be linked to a server-side issue, not something wrong with users’ devices or apps. Some users said that even restarting the app or clearing the cache didn’t fix the problem.

Google has now confirmed that they’re aware of the issue and are working on a fix. In a response on its community forum, the company said they’ve found the cause and are pushing out a solution. Users should start seeing their homepages return to normal soon.

This bug made YouTube less enjoyable to use, especially for people who rely on the homepage to find new videos. While search and subscriptions still worked, the homepage is a big part of how people discover content.

If your YouTube homepage is still not working, try updating the app or just wait a little—Google says the fix is rolling out gradually. Hopefully, things will go back to normal for everyone shortly.
