TL;DR
- YouTube’s search filters are currently not accessible on desktop.
- It seems like the search filters are still working in YouTube’s mobile apps.
- The cause for the malfunction isn’t clear. We’ve reached out to Google for comment.
Something’s up with YouTube search on desktop. This morning, many users — including us here at Android Authority — have noticed that YouTube’s search filtering options aren’t functioning.
This was brought to our attention by a post on the YouTube subreddit by user Kotif92. YouTube’s search filters, accessible via the Filters link in the top right corner of desktop search results, all show up “grayed out” — the only filter that’s still accessible is the option to sort search results by relevance (which is the default search behavior).
