Thank you. I signed in and was able to see the button.

I denied permissions for both the camera and notifications but now I can see the options to toggle them under settings. I will use the app for awhile and see if issues come up again


I’ll take a look in the app again but wouldn’t uninstalling it and downloading it again reset permissions?

I’ve reinstalled it but I don’t see the button you mentioned, unless you were referring to the desktop/browser version? There are no settings about camera permissions in the app itself or in iOS settings


I agree with your logic but when I reinstalled the app to see if I did allow camera access, the only prompt that came up is to request permission to send notifications.

Then again, it was logged in with a Google account so maybe it has something to do with the account permissions? I’ll be able to investigate that later tonight to be sure but even after logging out and a fresh download, it still prompted for only notifications.

Regarding the glossy screen, it was displaying from the rear facing camera. I apologize for not mentioning that in my post but I’ll update it to reflect that.

Edit: typed front facing instead of rear facing


Thank you! I’m going to check this out tonight


iOS -YouTube app showing augmented ads now
I've not seen this before but it was strange. An ad loaded at the end of a video, so I paused it. What caught my eye was the background was moving when I moved my phone, which turned out to be the room I was in. The ad was overlayed on whatever my camera was looking at, but the ad appeared stretched from a single point in the middle of the screen, which was even weirder. Edit: The ad was using the rear camera, not the front facing one. I've looked through my phones settings and there are no options to toggle YouTube's camera access either, so I feel like it's safe to say this is being forced on users (surprise /s). Needless to say, that app is no longer on any of my devices :)
