Is YouTube down?

Right now, YouTube appears to be operational. We couldn't read YouTube's official status page, but our independent checks can reach it, so it appears to be working.

DownRN runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from YouTube's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely YouTube's side.

YouTube is currently operational. YouTube doesn't publish a status feed we can read, so DownRN determines its server status from an independent reachability check plus live community reports — refreshed every 60 seconds, and we never invent numbers.

Yes — this page is a live YouTube down detector. It aggregates real user reports, shows an outage map and recent incident history, runs an independent check from our own servers, and tells you whether YouTube is down for everyone or just you — plus what else goes down with it. It's free, with no login, and DownRN never invents report numbers.

If lots of people are reporting problems here right now, YouTube is down for everyone — not just you. If reports are quiet and our independent check passes, it's more likely on your end: try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, restarting the app, or clearing your cache. DownRN shows live report volume so you can tell the difference fast — and YouTube's outage map shows which areas are affected.

Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. YouTube is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.

YouTube is currently operational. DownRN tracks YouTube outages in real time and keeps a full outage history — see the live status above, and past YouTube incidents with their durations and recovery times on the outage history page. We never invent outages.

Based on our checks, YouTube is operational right now. The problems people report most are login, the feed, messaging or payments — see the live reports and the "what usually breaks" breakdown above for the specific surfaces affected, plus what else is going down with it.

Outages can be regional — a CDN, routing or ISP issue can hit one area while the rest of the world is fine. DownRN's YouTube outage map shows where people are reporting problems right now, by country and US state, so you can see whether YouTube is down in your area or everywhere.

Good alternatives include TikTok, Netflix, Instagram. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.

YouTube's official status page is at https://support.google.com/youtube. DownRN reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks and user reports — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
