YouTube’s mobile app on iOS devices is currently down for some users. The crashes began on Wednesday afternoon as thousands of iOS users reported the app would close shortly after opening it.
Users also reported seeing a message on the app that said, “A serious error occurred.”
TechCrunch tried to replicate the problem and experienced similar issues. We opened the YouTube app ourselves and found that after playing a video for 30 seconds, the app would close. We then reopened the app and resumed the video without any issues.
YouTube, in a tweet, said it’s aware of the crash and is working on fixing it.
