YouTube App Playback issues on S22 Ultra (Exynos)

[Zus]

Hello,

I was wondering if some are having playback issues on the YouTube App. My phone is lagging when trying to fast forward or backward. Also, my audio seems to be out of sync with the video.

Thanks,

Zaid

Same issues here! Even after all the recent updates. Quite unacceptable for a flagship phone if you ask me

Same issue here!! Regular s22. This is ridiculous.  I'm thinking to return this phone. 

My 4 years old Motorola works much better than this "flagship"...

Honestly I never post in these forums usually but had to add to the frustration!.

My youtube app along with other media apps are atrociously laggy. To the point that I would actually consider returning this phone.

How can they continue to leave this broken for so many people on their expensive flagship. It's so dissapointing. 

Youtube in particular is like like an old streaming service sometimes that can't keep up. Terrible samsung. I fear they aren't going to actually fix this.

I'm with you there! Honestly, my phone is noticeably laggy all the time. UI, apps, bad animations. (Even after doing all the device care tips and trips) I'm really surprised given I hadn't face the same issues with my older galaxy device and I'm also more surprised that very few and none of the big YouTubers are talking about this. I'm only here ranting because it's such an expensive phone that feels like an entry-level android one which is pissing me off

I'm having the exact same problem... Just bought the phone last week. I gave some time to properly update everything. 

But the problem still persists. When starting, fast forwarding or rewind a YouTube video the audio start playing but the video doesn't for a couple of seconds. 

This is really annoying for a top phone from a top brand as Samsung.

Never had this issue with my previous S9+ way older than this phone.

Unacceptable for a phone at this price.. Any comments from Samsung?

I had the same issue but have sorted, open up YouTube settings and go to quality and set it manually to high (or low if you prefer) it loads and fast forwards instantly now.

I tried that, but I still have the same problem. It only worked for the first video I watched.

But I never had this same issue with my previous phone an S9+ (until last week when I switched to the S22 Ultra),... way older!

For what this phone costs, and given it is the flagship for Samsung right now, I think it's amazing that they didn't fix it or mentioned it... I kind of understand now why I see now so many discounts and promotions....

Yeah tbh the problem came back again the following day so maybe didn't fix it. The only other thing I could think is it changing the resolution up and down form 1080p to 1440p. It is going to be an android bug rather than a hardware bug and I guess it is a new phone so they may sort soon. Samsung tend to make the best Android phones I've just come from a pixel 6 pro which I hated.

Just updated YouTube today and seems to have fixed it!
