YouTube said on Tuesday (February 17) it has resolved an issue that briefly affected access to the video-sharing platform, after outage-tracking website Downdetector reported widespread global disruptions. YouTube said that an issue with its recommendation system had prevented videos from appearing across YouTube surfaces. "The issue with our recommendations system has been resolved, and all of our platforms (YouTube.com, the YouTube app, YouTube Music, Kids, and TV) are back to normal," YouTube said in an update. At its peak, there were more than 320,000 user reports of YouTube issues in the U.S., according to Downdetector. Downdetector's numbers are based on user-submitted reports. The actual number of affected users may vary. Welcome to Alert — Your Fastest Window to the World. Stay ahead of global events with sharp, reliable, and timely international news updates.
