YouTube video quality list not showing 720p or higher resolution on iPhone XS Max

I recently switched from Android to iOS.

I have installed an YouTube app from App Store on my new iPhone XS Max.

Now, when I'm playing any video on YouTube, the default max resolution quality is showing as 480p in video quality settings of the YouTube.

Therefore, I'm not able to watch the higher resolution videos in higher resolution.

Question :

1. Is there any extra setting that I have to make in iOS 13 to enable watching videos at higher resolution as I'm not finding it anywhere ?

Solution 1:

I'm guessing you are using Youtube App from India.

Keeping in mind the increased load during the lockdown, they have capped the maximum quality of streaming at 480p.

The workaround to resolve this issue is by using VPN.
