YouTube ability to switch between accounts has just vanished. Anyone else experiencing this?

by dillan910

It seems like the YouTube app has recently been updated and signed out of the accounts I've been logged into and used for years. So when I log in (Through YouTube/activate) it works fine, but if I try to switch to a different account, instead of having the option to log into a separate account, it just straight up logs you out and tells you to log back in with the activate link in a browser. Why is this a thing now? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Some weird stuff is going on. Yesterday i found out i was suddenly using one of my connected alt accounts instead of my main. I then manually switched the app back to my main account. This morning, like the other commenter, i was completely signed out.

So far nothing like that for me. I just checked and I'm still signed into my main account. I swapped to another account and back to the main with no problem.

My Sony Bravia has been like this since I bought it 1.5 years ago. I wish it had account switch like I had on the fire tv 😕

I was forced to log in again today on my Nebula projector.

Since I don't use other accounts for YouTube, can't say if it affects account switching.

Why are you still using the native YT?
