YouTube users are reporting that YouTube filters are not working. This has happened all over the world. When searching for a query and setting the upload date filter to the last hour or day, results from days, weeks, or months ago were showing up. This affected both mobile apps and YouTube on the web and, of course, led to many complaints.

This is a common problem that affects many users and prevents them from properly sorting videos. Read on to find out how to solve this problem.

Why don’t YouTube filters work?

• The problem usually occurs when YouTube managers remove graphic or illegal content from the site. To prevent viewers from seeing these videos, they usually disable YouTube’s filtering feature. As a result, the filtering tool doesn’t seem to work.
• Because of the large volume of YouTube cache and data, the YouTube app may not work properly. If you are using a desktop computer, the browser cache can cause YouTube searches to fail.
