youtube stutter noticed on Note 20 Ultra after recent update

[irfanpatel]

Has anyone noticed youtube randomly lagging on your Note 20 Ultra? It happens occasionally and youtube feels kinda sluggish all over a sudden. In order to resolve the issue I'm closing the app and opening it again.

I can confirm that I haven't noticed any lag whatsoever on other apps. I have ample storage 200GB+ and ample RAM 6GB+ not in use. 

I have noticed this issue since the the recent YouTube update / recent Samsung software update. Prior to these updates I didn't notice any glitch.

Was this a phone software update or an app update @irfanpatel 

I'm using Version 15.43.32 YouTube App and on the September update and experiencing no lag.

You could try clearing the cache and if necessary data in the app via settings,  apps, YouTube,  storage,  clear cache / data.

I'm not sure whether it was initiated after a software / Youtube update

I have the N20U for over a month now and this issue has only started happening a few days ago coinciding with both the youtube and Samsung update. the Samsung update was installed on 31st October by the way.

this issue basically happens after using youtube throughout the day for around 4 - 6 hours. from being silky smooth it becomes very laggy, video stutter and scrolling down when in video view is slow too. to resolve I'm having to simply close the app and start it again. it all goes back to normal then.

Finally prior to posting this issue I had already cleared the youtube app and data cache and it the issue still happened after using youtube for 5 hours

Mine has been doing the same exact thing since I updated my phone for the last update if Im in YouTube or YouTube TV it goes into a jittery lag while using it if I've been using it for a while to the point I have to restart my phone

Same for me, happening since last 6 months. Such a garbage experience after spending 1300 dollars. Feels like throwing away this sh***y phone.
