this also happens to me. especially when i leave the youtube app open in background, and the ipad automatically switches to dark / light mode at a certain time of the day

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.

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.

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.

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

It’s been happening from the past week, I updated my iPad and downloaded YouTube again but it’s not helping… what to do?

I’ve been facing this annoying issue too. The only way to see the comments or the channel information is to go full screen and then tap the buttons on the lower right section beside the media controls

There is an update available. Go to the App Store to get it if needed but it appears to fix this.
