Hi there! I see you're having trouble with videos not playing in the WatchTube app on your iPhone. To help you better, could you tell me a bit more? For example, does the app open fine but just won’t play any videos? Are you seeing any error messages? And are you connected via Wi-Fi or cellular data when this happens?

Meanwhile, I’ll guide you through some common fixes for WatchTube videos not playing:

1. Check Your Network Connection: Make sure your iPhone has a stable internet connection. Try switching between Wi-Fi and cellular data to see if the video plays.

2. Switch WatchTube Instance: WatchTube relies on third-party servers (called “instances”), and sometimes one instance can have issues. In the WatchTube app, go to “Settings,” then “Instance,” and select a different instance from the list. Then try playing videos again.

3. Clear Cache and Storage (If Available): Some apps allow clearing cache. If WatchTube has this option, try clearing it to remove temporary data that might be causing issues.

4. Update the App and iOS: Though your iOS 11.6 is a bit old, check if there's any app update available in the App Store. Updated versions often fix bugs.

5. Restart Your Device: A simple reboot can sometimes fix glitches with video playback.

If after these steps the videos still won't play, there might be a broader server issue on WatchTube’s end or compatibility issues with iOS 11.6. Let me know what you’ve already tried and how it’s going, and we can dig deeper!

Are you comfortable trying these steps now?
