JAKARTA - A strange bug is disturbing YouTube users on Android devices. A number of important interface buttons such as like', comments', and stributed in the Shorts feature are reported missing from the screen. Simple attempts such as deleting cache or app data are not able to fix the problem.

This distraction makes many users feel frustrated because the main element in the YouTube Shorts player, including the interaction button and even the channel logo, has suddenly disappeared. To date, no official solution has been released by YouTube or Google.

Over the past few weeks, Android users have reported that the YouTube Shorts display no longer displays control buttons on the right side of the screen such as like', don't like', comments, and stributed. Even the channel names, avatars, and subscribe' buttons at the bottom of the screen also disappear.

Some users try various ways such as deleting caches, reinstalling apps, to restarting their phones, but problems still appear. This suggests that the bug may come from the server side or certain app updates.

Interestingly, not all users experience this problem. A number of users report that their app is still functioning normally. This fact indicates that the bug may only affect certain versions of the app or device configuration, and most likely stems from an accidental update.

Losing this interaction button is more than just a display problem. These buttons are an important part of the interaction system on Google's video platform. Without the like' feature, comments, or distributed, user engagement (engagement) can drop drastically, and this has the potential to affect the video reach of creators.

One user wrote, 'If we can't comment or even see the creator's name, the way we use YouTube will change completely.'

Unfortunately, until now there has been no improvement that users can do. The temporary solution is just waiting for an update from Google. Usually, the company will immediately release a patch to fix this kind of big bug as quickly as possible.
