Tbf my official YouTube also defaults to some shitty quality even on wifi, on my desktop and tv it always goes to 4k. I’ve also configured it to high picture quality or whatever.
Comment on youtube on modern phones sucks

You default to 240 because your internet sucks or you need to change the default setting. I get 720 all the time and could go higher if I wanted. I never see 240.
This is a you issue and not an app issue.

If you go to settings>advanced>you can straight up choose the quality video will play at.

My settings are set to the highest quality.
I’m using revamped now anyway, and it works flawlessly.

There are so many of these threads that just boil down to “I am the problem I just can’t admit it”

But this is a real issue. Video playback on my phone usually starts at 480p but on my laptop it starts at 1080p. Both are connected to the same network.

And how many pixels wide is your phone in the direction you watch videos?
