YouTube Down: Users say 'Can't Search Anything'
According to the website, users are having problems while searching content from the app across devices and playing videos on Android, iPhone and desktop. According to user comments, Texas and New York City are among the affected areas.
"When I try to search something, it says to try different keywords and try filters, when I haven't used any filters," a user wrote on the platform. Several accounts on X also echoed in a similar voice. The prompt reads: "No results found" with accompanying text: Try different keywords or remove search filters." Other notable issues were problems with the server. Here are a few of them.

Is YouTube Down In India?
No significant reports of an outage of the video-sharing app were reported in India. We tried watching videos and searching for content on YouTube, and the app worked fine. The problem was probably centred in the United States only.
Speaking of other prominent outages in the United States, WhatsApp, Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter) and Reddit were down on different occasions recently.
