Samsung Galaxy S22+ with T-Mobile. Works fine on WiFi. Cellular data is working fine. Can get to any website and speed tests are running at 500mbs. I've tried uninstalling YouTube, reinstalling, clearing data/cache, restarting phone with no results.

have you tried accessing in a browser when on cell data?

Just tried, doens't work. It's also not a phone issue because I connected a spare phone via hotspot and it doesn't work on that phone either.

sounds like a DNS issue.

All carriers mess with YouTube streaming. Go to your carrier settings and see if they let you change streaming options.

Might be it. I tried using my VPN and YouTube works via cellular with VPN turned on.

Update: Works now. Chatted online with a customer service representative that only asked me to restart the phone, which I had already tried numerous times throughout the day so I didn't even attempt it. After I disabled the chat, it miraculously works now.
