A new bug in the YouTube app is causing Shorts to automatically launch when users reopen the app, instead of displaying the homepage. Reports have surged on Reddit, with users describing unexpected loud sounds from Shorts videos. This issue has persisted for several weeks and affects both free and YouTube Premium subscribers. While primarily reported by Android users, it remains unclear if iOS users are experiencing similar problems. A temporary fix involves clearing the app's data and cache, but the problem recurs if Shorts is reopened last.
