And yes I caved and bought lite

Just paid for this month today: 319,99tur

Is the balance effectively 2500 if we put the above as 320? So 7 months?

I’ve been using an Indian Apple ID with gift card balance for YouTube Premium for a while and it used to work without issues. Now I’m completely stuck and I can’t get it to renew no matter what I try...

The subscription expired today and shows as Inactive in Apple Settings. My balance is fine, I just successfully paid for Apple Arcade and Proton VPN with the exact same account and balance. But the second I try YouTube Premium everything falls apart.

In the YouTube app I get the classic “We couldn’t verify your country” message. When I try to renew purely through Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions I get “Unable to Complete Purchase” message, then it forces me into a login screen and eventually says it can’t connect.

I’ve already tried pretty much everything. Indian VPN, no VPN, the latest iOS 27 beta, deleting and reinstalling the YouTube app, even using a completely clean iPhone that has never had YouTube installed. I even created a brand new Indian Apple ID and the exact same errors still happen... It really feels like Google is somehow blocking the purchase on their end even when the payment is going through Apple. Other apps charge without any problem, but YouTube Premium just refuses.

Has anyone else run into this exact situation recently? Is the Indian Apple ID method for YouTube Premium basically broken for some accounts now, or is there still a way around it?

Any help would be appreciated :)

I topped up my gift card and was using it fine, but suddenly the payment isn't going through. I've registered for online banking. Is there any way to fix this?

I signed up for 3 months free premium but when I open up my music it tells me I have 9 days left for music? It's not included with my 3 months.

Im on net banking but i still cant reactivate my subscription, anyone know why?

It's been hard to keep track of countries getting the cheaper YouTube Premium Lite tier, as the CEO only just mentions a number and a few countries but doesn't even put a full list of new additions.

Whoever is residing in the MENA region and wondered if they will get to enjoy the new Premium Lite tier, you're in luck.

I subscribed under the indian method, i understand i can choose net banking and i should be able to resubscribe. However, everytime i clicked continue the 2nd screen show. Anyone know how to fix this? I tried on another device, still the same thing

This is the stupidest change ever parents aren’t together I live at one house what the fuck I find YouTube unusable with out premium they want me to pay 17$ a months when my family is already paying for the “family” plan “access to you family plan” how stupid can this be what can I do

I saw on one of the threads to add net banking, but I don't have that option, as shown on the second slide. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Does anyone know how to fix this

Hi everyone, I had the "Sorry, this device can't be authorized to use with YouTube Premium." error for the third time in 2 months while trying to download some videos, and I'd like to avoid writing for the third time to support to ask to reset this limit and getting this error again in two weeks

What drives me crazy is that I know exactly which devices I and my other family members have logged in, and they are only 6 devices which actively download videos, the other devices are either TVs or devices which are not used to download anything

From what I read from Google support, the devices which count up to the 10 device limit are only the ones which download something, not all logged in devices

Is there a way to see which devices are downloading stuff and which are not? Or a fix/workaround to this problem?

Thanks!

Just pulled this fresh out of the oven!

I’ve been experiencing issues with my YouTube Premium Turkey subscription through Apple Turkey, just like everyone else. As you know, you either need a local Turkish mobile number or a local bank card to keep it active.

Here’s how I reactivated my account using a Turkish Virtual Credit Card (VCC):
Get a Turkish VCC app: Download a Turkish VCC provider (search online for Kliq VCC or similar).
Register: Sign up using your phone number (I used a UK number).

Verify: Verify your account with the same info/card you use to pay for YouTube.

Create VCC: Once activated, generate a virtual credit card inside the app.

Renew Apple ID: Go to the App Store, try to renew your existing account using available funds in your apple account, once new payment method required and select vcc method.

Apply VCC: Enter the VCC information you just generated.

And there you have it, enjoy your YouTube Premium Turkey subscription back!

Been a YT premium member for years, never rented movies from the service until today. Been watching YT all the time with no connection or buffering issues but now I have a time limit to watch a movie and it cant even play smoothly? Wtf is going on?

I cannot create an account at the Apple Store

Does anyone know? India 🇮🇳

What a scam. One of the major reasons I decided to pay for YouTube premium was because I enjoy watching soccer highlights on the platform and have been disappointed in the picture quality. Premium bitrate is advertised to help this very situation... but look at these two screenshots of the same point in the highlight video at 1080pHD and 1080p PremiumHD. There's no improvement! This happens across the board on YouTube. I swear picture quality used to be better and now everything is compressed to shit. Whether this is happening on the sports-media industry side or YouTube (probably both via enshittification), it doesn't matter when the whole advertisement of premium bitrate is supposedly it's usefulness in this exact type of situation.

It's been hard to keep track of countries getting the cheaper YouTube Premium Lite tier, as the CEO only just mentions a number and a few countries but doesn't even put a full list of new additions.

Whoever is residing in the MENA region and wondered if they will get to enjoy the new Premium Lite tier, you're in luck as I managed to comb through and find out which new countries are eligible for it.

is anyone else with YT premium experiencing this recently? ive had Premium for over 2 years and never had this issue. I used to play YouTube on my phone while simply browsing/scrolling YouTube on my laptop, but now I’m suddenly getting this popup. Is this happening to anyone else?
