Just encounter this bug yesterday. When open up the youtube app it's normal at first, then after couple minutes or after watch another video, the resolution selection is weird, only showing 144p, 360p, and 720p. I checked all the video on youtube and the selection is still the same. Anyone ever had this issue?

some videos are only rendered in 720p and therefor can't be viewed in 1080p,

other instances of the video being newly released it sometimes only features 144/240/480/720p for a few minutes 

 

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

I know that thing. This is a bug, not a newly uploaded videos or just the video being rendered in 720p. I watch the same videos in 1080p60 but it change to 720p only after I switch between apps.

Everything, mainly instagram and whatsapp for chatting. But surely that's not the problem because I do that everytime

YouTube app could be detecting that its no longer the app in the foreground, and switching to 720p while in background to save on data.

 

Check a few things...

  • Are you on mobile?
  • Are you on WiFi but the connection is set as metered?
  • Check your preferences and settings in the app

Sorry for late reply as I followed your questions. Finally it fixed. First I try to switch from WiFi to Mobile Data while watching the same video and the Mobile Data can do 1080p60 without issue. So I force my WiFi as Not Metered connection and try it for about 1 or 2 day and it worked!
Thanks for the info, I didn't thinking about Metered things
