The Best Ways to Repair On Android and iPad, YouTube keeps asking for an update.

In the video streaming sector, YouTube continues to be unsurpassed. While the service has never let us down in terms of dependability, there is one major flaw that could ruin your YouTube viewing experience. The app constantly asking for updates on the home screen, as we've seen. If you're having trouble with YouTube asking for upgrades on your Android or iPad, here's how to fix it.

Resolve YouTube Keeps Requesting Updates

When YouTube keeps asking for an update, you won't want to keep hitting the Not Now button. Instead, use the solutions listed below to resolve the YouTube constantly asking for updates issue once and for all.

1. Make a YouTube app update

YouTube constantly pushing for updates on your Android phone and iPad for a reason. YouTube distributes updates with new features and bug fixes on a regular basis. Users aren't interested in routinely updating programmes from the Google Play Store or the App Store.

That is why some apps, such as YouTube, prompt users to upgrade the app. You can manually upgrade the YouTube app on the Google Play Store for Android or the App Store for iPad.

If YouTube continues to prompt you to upgrade the app, follow the steps below.

2. Download the APK file from the internet and install it (Android)

There are instances when updating apps on Android can be difficult. You may download the latest YouTube APK file from the web and install it on your phone instead of dealing with the clumsy Play Store.

However, do not download the APK file from any random source. It's possible that you'll end up downloading phoney files to your phone. Instead, get an APK file from a reputable source such as APKMirror.

3. Force a YouTube restart (Android)

You've successfully updated the YouTube app, but the requesting for an update banner hasn't vanished. The YouTube app is most likely being loaded from the device cache by Android. You can either force the programme to close and end any YouTube background processes, or you can clear the app cache and relaunch it.

We'll show you how to force YouTube to stop on Android.

1. Open the app info menu by long pressing on the YouTube app icon.

2. Press the Force Stop button and confirm your choice.

If you open YouTube again, you should not see an Update Now banner in the app urging you to update it.

4. Clear the cache on YouTube (Android)

We'll erase the cache from the YouTube Android app and try again for the reasons listed above.

1. Long-press the YouTube app icon to access the app's information menu.

2. Select the Storage and Data option from the drop-down menu.

3. Tap on Clear cache and you are set to go without any update banner on the YouTube Android app.

5. Log out and log back in

YouTube constantly asking if there are any update issues, which could be tied to your Google account. For the time being, you can sign out and back in to your YouTube account. We'll teach you how to do it on both an Android and an iPad.

Android

1. Open YouTube and tap the top-right profile image.

2. Select Google Account Manager from the drop-down menu.

3. Go to Accounts > Manage Accounts.

iPad

On the iPad, the procedure is much more straightforward.

1. Open YouTube on your iPad and go to the top of the screen to the profile icon.

2. Select Use YouTube signed out from the drop-down menu under your name.

If you sign in with the same account details, the update banner should not appear.

You can also use YouTube in Incognito mode to surf the site. There isn't an Update banner in it.

Open YouTube and go to the top of the page to the account image. Turn on Incognito mode to watch YouTube in private mode without seeing an update banner.
