YouTube problems after upgrading to IOS 26

Since upgrading to IOS 26 on latest Ipad Air, I’m unable to like or comment on videos. Basically these 2 functions will not work in landscape mode but WILL work in portrait mode. I watch videos in landscape always but now have to switch to portrait at the end to like or comment which works just fine. Anyone else experiencing this??

iPad Air, iPadOS 26

This isn’t actually an update specific to the IOS 26 as it has happened in Apple’s prior version, However it has happened around one of the updates from Youtube, the do not recommend still works only at the home page.


Unfortunately unless this situation is big enough I doubt they’re going to fix the issue, meaning by chance, it’s likely a lingering problem.


But in all fairness, Not recommended was pretty useless anyway since it only affects for that specific video, and even if you clicked on it, it doesn’t outright prevent it from coming back like with playlists.
