2 years later this is still an issue - and this video still fixes it, thanks!

Another (faster) way to get to the clear cache and data option : long press on your youtube app icon and click on app info

I've recently started experiencing an issue where when going full screen, the youtube app only rotates in one direction. For example I have to hold the top of the phone in my left hand otherwise the video is upsidedown :( I tried the fix described in your video but it does not work :(

[samovarsa]

Unbelievable, this actually worked while simply restarting the app itself did nothing. Thank you!

You saved me from losing my mind. I kept reeboting my phone and it only fixed it temporarily. Youtube was not rotating almost every time I opened a video. I didn't realize it was just Youtube, until I watched your video. I also learned that it is safe to clear data and cache on any aps. In the past I was afraid to clear the data because it gave me a warning message and watching your video, I felt it was safe to do so. Thanks for informing and sharing.

This has been driving me nuts for weeks now. Big TY!

Finally, a solution to the problem. So annoying trying to find another vid to watch mid raid only for the screen to flip and refuse to flip back. Thank you so much for this.

I cannot get use to the new comments placement.

My problem is I want my screen rotation off. Which is fine and for YouTube when I would go fullscreen I could turn my phone left or right and it would rotate accordingly while my phone rotate is off. But now it only turns to the left unless I have my rotate on.

I know most people will just say "turn on your screen rotate". But that's the thing. I don't want it on. It used to work fine, now it doesn't. Is there a fix for this. I've tried restarting and it didn't help.

Thank you!!!! It was driving me crazy!

Ok! Here we go! I figured it out. Was recently experiencing my screen being stuck in "Portrait" view. Regardless of going into my settings, nothing would stay permanently.

So I noticed now vs 2yrs ago - We are all likely using a mirroring app to cast our phone. Well, after my "Weblink Host App" was updated, it overrided my phone settings. If Weblink Host is open in the background, it will override your phone settings - preventing "auto rotate" to function properly. Now we I leave the car - I have to remember to "force stop" Weblink Host, and close the app.

My phone has been working fine ever since. Found this post last month. Although it's a couple yrs old. I thought I'd comment and share. I hope this helps! ✌🏾

I know that this video was made a year ago, but you are still helping us, thank you so much bro

[nuclearseahorse]

This worked! My phone updated and suddenly wouldn't flip to the other side and now it does~ thank you

[hmohsin]

Wow I literally thought that I was just nitpicking and perhaps noticing more than I really should, however this thing really did exist. Thanks!

[paulmarsdensr]

Thank you Jimmy. You always go the extra mile for all of us. Stay safe brother and take care.

Video is 2years old and still works! I have a Google pixel 3 and I tested this and it worked. Thanks!!

[diamondfianko]

BROOOO...i just used this today .... this still works thank you .. i have been struggling all week to fix this wow and you filmed this 2 years ago ..

[SargsyanTigran]

The problem started for me yesterday. Clearing cache and data fixed it. Thanks!

[billnuttall]

The lack of auto rotate was making me nuts. I inadvertently turned it off. Doh! As always, thanks for the tip! It is working again!

[raulvasquez]

Had this issue after replacing my 3 year old s21 ultra via insurance. Worked at first then would not rotate. Glad this video still works.
