Hi! I see the share button to post on YouTube from the VK app has disappeared for you. To help you best, could you clarify a couple of details for me first?

1. Are you using the VK web version through your WebKit browser on Windows 10, or are you using the VK app installed on your device?
2. Is this issue happening only with sharing to YouTube, or are other sharing options missing too?
3. Have you recently updated your browser or VK app before this happened?

Meanwhile, a common cause for shared buttons vanishing in apps or web versions is either an update changing the interface or a temporary glitch. Here’s what I’d suggest to start:

Step 1: Refresh and Clear Cache
- Refresh the web page or restart the VK app.
- Clear your browser cache since stale stored data can cause display issues:
- In WebKit on Windows, go to Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data > choose Cached images and files > Clear data.

Step 2: Check for Updates
- Make sure your WebKit browser and VK app (if installed) are updated to the latest version. Outdated versions sometimes lose compatibility with integrated features like the share button.

Step 3: Look for Interface Changes
- Sometimes, VK or YouTube update their UI and relocate sharing buttons. Check if the share option is now under a different menu or icon (like three dots or a share symbol elsewhere).

Step 4: Try a Different Browser as a Test
- Since this is Windows 10, try accessing VK in another browser like Chrome or Edge to see if the share button appears there. This helps identify if it’s browser-specific.

If none of these work, it may be an issue related to how VK currently integrates YouTube sharing or a server-side change they made. I can look further if you give me your answers above.

Would you like me to guide you through these steps now?

Thanks for confirming that the share button itself is missing. Since you’re on WebKit on Windows 10 and facing this issue specifically with the VK app, here’s what I found and suggest based on recent reports and fixes:

1. Permissions Check
- Sometimes, VK’s share button disappears if the app does not have proper permissions, especially for wall/post sharing. If you are logged in to VK via a third-party app or an integration, ensure the app has the permission to post on your behalf (like "WALL" permission in VK API terms). If you only authorized limited permissions earlier (e.g., friends list only), the share button feature might be disabled3.

2. Update or Reinstall VK App
- If you are using the VK Windows app, try updating to the latest version. If up-to-date already, reinstalling the app can reset UI elements and fix bugs causing buttons to disappear.

3. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies
- Since you are using WebKit browser, clear browsing data primarily cache and cookies related to VK to remove corrupted data4.

4. Try Alternative Access Methods
- Access your VK account through a different browser like Chrome or Firefox on the same Windows 10 machine to see if the problem persists there. It could be a WebKit-specific rendering issue.

5. Temporary VK Changes or Bugs
- There have been sporadic reports of missing buttons in VK’s app and web interface (like the "videos" button disappearing for communities). Sometimes these are temporary and get fixed by VK's updates or server fixes1.

If after these steps the share button is still missing, it’s helpful to contact VK support directly by emailing [email protected] with your issue and details like your username ([email protected]) and device info.

Would you like me to guide you through clearing cache or checking app permissions? Let me know where you want to start!

Thanks for asking about recent VK app updates affecting the share button. Based on the latest information, here’s what I can share:

VK has had occasional interface changes and bugs after updates that impacted share-related features. Some users reported that buttons for sharing or video-related actions have disappeared temporarily due to these updates or server-side changes. For example, the "videos" button for communities once disappeared and then was restored after VK fixed the issue on their end1.

Additionally, some shared button problems stem from permission issues or glitches that occur right after an app update and are later patched by VK in subsequent releases. Clearing cache, reinstalling the app, and ensuring you have the latest app version generally helps resolve these issues5.

To sum up:
- VK app updates sometimes cause temporary disappearance or malfunction of sharing buttons.
- These are mostly resolved by VK quickly via new updates or server fixes.
- In the meantime, clearing cache, checking permissions, or reinstalling the app can restore missing sharing features.
- Alternatively, try using VK’s web version or a different browser to see if the share button appears there.

If the share button remains missing for you and these steps don’t help, it’s a good idea to send a detailed report with your device and account info to VK support at [email protected].

Would you like me to guide you on clearing cache or reinstalling the VK app next?
