## YouTube is crashing on startup or redirecting me to a page after applying patches

You might likely be patching a split APK file or missing. Refer to [this](questions.md#where-to-get-full-apks) question. Or you might be missing [GmsCore](https://github.com/ReVanced/GmsCore/releases/latest). Install it.

## Seekbar preview missing in YouTube

A recent patch causes this. You can find it in [this](https://discord.com/channels/952946952348270622/954833032114733086/1121235521801310229) announcement. Currently, your only option is to disable the patch in the settings. This may cause playback issues.

## Playback stops

## Common issues during or after patching

You may have toggled settings in ReVanced Manager that are not recommended to change. Please review the warnings that appear when adjusting these settings and reset them to their default configuration.

## No ReVanced logo after patching YouTube

By default, the patch to change the logo of the YouTube app is not applied. Use the `Custom branding` patch to change the logo.

## YouTube Shorts still not hidden

To hide YouTube shorts, use the Hide Shorts components and Navigation buttons patches. In the YouTube settings, enable:
- `Shorts > Hide Shorts in feed`
- `General layout> Navigation buttons > Hide Shorts button`
