An update to the YouTube app on Amazon Fire TV has been released to fix issues with sign-in that many users were running into.
In a post last week, Google acknowledged issues that users were experiencing on Fire TV through the official YouTube app. Users were left unable to sign into the app, and often kicked out of their accounts upon opening it, an experience that was surely frustrating.
Luckily, Google rolled out a patch for the issue quickly, with a YouTube update rolling out starting on 1/23 and expanding widely to Fire TV users in the time since. A device reboot may be required to implement the fix.
Google explains:
Here’s what you might [have been] experiencing:
- Being automatically signed out when launching the YouTube App
- Being unable to log in on the YouTube App
This is now fixed! Go ahead and restart your device, then try logging in to the YouTube app again. Thanks for your patience! Let us know if you’re still having trouble.
