" This isn't the most dramatic bug we've seen on a Samsung phone, but YouTube is one of the apps people open the most, and force-closing it several times a day on a $2,100 foldable is a tough sell." I agree completely. If this is indeed a Samsung-related issue/bug, they need to release a fix immediately—there’s no room for excuses or "passes", especially on a device at this price point. That said, if this happens to be the most significant bug in One UI 9, we’re good and in way better shape than most other platforms. I wish we could say the same for the competition.

This is the perfect example of why you shouldn't believe FANGIRLS who claim their Samsung devices are flawless. It’s clearly all talk, just like every other time.

You're just mad because any Samsung phone is still 100x better than the iPhone 17S series.

That’s like saying the Pixel 11 Fold doesn’t bend.

Happens on my family's iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, S24 Ultra, Pixel 9a, S26 Ultra and my own Fold 8 Ultra. I think it's a YouTube bug more than a specific phone.

If this guy actually thought the Samsung phones are 100x better than their iPhones, why wouldn't they just buy a samsung phone? Why do you guys think other people are jealous of your phone? You understand that we can buy whatever we want right? Such weirdos lol
