Some New Apple TV 4K Boxes Show a YouTube Error Screen

Some new Apple TV 4K units show a black screen, with a QR code (a square barcode), instead of the YouTube app. The screen reads 'YouTube is not yet available on this device,' The Verge reported on 13 November 2026. For Tom Warren, the tvOS 27.2 software update and a restart did not clear it; reinstalling the app was required.
