GoKawiilGoogle says YouTube's Android Server Error 400 bug is fixed, again
Google has marked its support thread for YouTube's Server Error 400 issue on Android as resolved, after an earlier fix announced November 1 failed to work for some users and was acknowledged as unresolved on November 3. Google now advises affected users to simply update the YouTube app to the latest version and reopen it, rather than reinstalling the app or clearing its storage.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The repeated back-and-forth suggests Google's initial diagnosis of the bug's cause was incomplete, requiring a second round of fixes and more than a week of troubleshooting. The simplified fix recommendation means users won't need to lose downloaded videos, which was a drawback of the earlier workaround.
- Google confirms YouTube's Server Error 400 bug on Android is now fixed.
- A prior fix announced November 1 did not resolve the issue for all users.
- Users still affected should update the YouTube app rather than reinstall or clear storage.
