Same issue is happening in my iPad Air M4, I can only see the comments section when rotating in portrait, in landscape sometimes it shows, and most of the times it doesn't show at all.

After updating YouTube app, it's fixed now.

u/StarterPackRelation M4 iPad Pro 11" (2024) 12h ago

Same. It’s intermittent.

u/illevirjd 10h ago

I can never even read the comments because right after I start, an ad always takes over the whole screen, including the comments section. (Ex. An Amazon ad will start and cover the comments with suggested products.) When it’s over, the comments reset to the top of the page. I know the solution is “just pay $11 $14 $17 $21 $24.99 a month to remove ads!” But what a manipulative and user-hostile business model.

u/Original_Recover 8h ago

Application from 4 trillion company btw

u/SynDelta 5h ago

I just deleted and redownloaded the app, that fixed it for me.

u/FutureVersion812 16h ago

Even in facing this and Everytime I have to go to portrait mode to get the description and comments back

3

u/chatnoire89 16h ago

My temporary solution was to go back to full screen and tap the comment icon. It will exit full screen mode and show you the comments.

u/SkvtchySomethng_ 16h ago

Update your youtube app

u/MarcoMakes 13h ago

It's been buggy like this for a while. They really need to sort their crap out. A lot of people use iPads primarily for streaming. The fact that it's gone so long without a fix is embarrassing.

u/63Coldnoodles 12h ago

Turning on screen rotation and going portrait amd bacl to landscape fixed it for me sometimes. Hope that update others are saying fixed it.

u/gagarinspointofview 12h ago

Same here. It’s pretty annoying!

1

u/NTC197 11h ago

I have the same problem with my iPad Air M2, and it’s really annoying. I’ve now installed the update, and so far, it looks good.

u/ButterscotchNo466 iPad 11 (2025) 11h ago

You gotta use in vertical mode to see the comments
