Had the same issue. Updated the Software in settings and now its working. You'll see that the Software update includes enhancements. Perhaps Samsung forgot to include that feature the first time around.

T mobile youtube app app version 12.34.55

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] alfamega190:
Have not had the icon since Monday the 11th when I received it. Took an update yesterday and problem still persisted. I then did another reset( from recovery), set up phone and let it restore everything overnight. Woke up this morning and the icon was there in youtube. Don't know wut happened but it's there. ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
You need to tap the screen, then it should pop up

I did tap it ...Where exactly did you tap the screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
It doesn't seem to matter. I can tap anywhere and the icon will pop up on the right side.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] toby6570:
For me some videos start out cropped, like some videos from Vevo. It says "Automatically adjusted to fit screen." Then you have to tap the screen to switch it back to normal. And others start out normal and you have to tap to crop.

UPDATE WOOOOOOOW THIS WORKED I RESET IT THREW RECOVERY THEN LET IT RESTORE ON WIFI WAITED FOR IT TO FINISH AND YES!!!!! IT WORKS NOW :laugh: FYI TO GET TO RECOVERY HOLD POWER BIXBY BUTTON AND VOLUME UP THEN WAIT FOR THE BLUE ANDROID GUY TO FALL THEN PRESS THE POWER BUTTON

Glad it worked. Still don't know how, but I'm happy. Good luck n enjoy?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] keyz86:
Wow thank you, I can't believe this worked!

I tried two resets from the settings option and it didn't fix it but saw this post and tried a reset from recovery and now I have the icon.

I don't understand why it would be any different but I'm happy now.

To anyone else trying this, I did the recovery reset and then opened YouTube straight away and the icon wasn't there but I went back to YouTube later and it was.

Note 8 you tube crop to fit gone

I'm also having to same problem. I tired to uninstall reinstall, reset clear data etc.... I'm one step away from returning my note8 and going back to the s8plus. Samsung messed this one up. My s8plus plays YouTube full screen while my (now feels like)downgraded note8 with a bigger screen puts black bars on the sides wasting screen realestate. And no option to fit to crop!!!

I didn't have the option until a YouTube Update I got 2days ago seems to have added the option.

I just left my local verizon store and theirs does the same as mine. I tried installing older versions of the app but it did the same. Anyone who has it working what version of the app are you running?

Verizon note8

I'm on a Verizon version of the Note8. Is this a Verizon problem? Does anyone on Verizon have the "crop to fit" button? Also does anyone outside of Verizon have this issue? How can we fix this? I really don't want to have to return this and revert back to my s8plus.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
He talking about getting rid of the pillar boxing that happens so it zooms in and crop.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
I still don't get it? So what he is saying is when he watches YouTube in landscape mode it does not fit the whole screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Yes it does that, but the sides pillar box. If you tap on the icon it'll fill the pillar box. Scroll back a few posts and look for my screenshot. That's what he is looking for.

TMO version and mine has the option like tidbits.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
I went to YouTube and at first it would fill my whole screen up without me pressing anything. Now I went and hit the screen and it did pop up and I see how you change it. But now I have to hit that every time to get it to fill the screen. So now I am screwed. Is there a setting to always fill the screen without having to hit that box?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
I'm not sure but what I've noticed after using this OG YouTube for a few days I don't even see that option to expand the screen any longer. Must not be possible on this OG YT.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tedkord:
I don't have the Note 8 yet, so this is just a stab in the dark - is it possibly a function of the Samsung Video Enhancer setting? Do you have it activated? Just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
True, true. It's a fair trade off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] eggy_maxx:
I was experiencing this problem too, I've tried all possible ways including changing the video enhancer setting, resolution and installing latest youtube app from apkmirror. No luck.

Factory reset solve this problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] thisazlife:
We have two Note8's. Both had "crop to fit" in youtube when we bought the phones, one the option is now missing. Both have same software versions, both have same youtube versions, both have high performance set, both are watching same youtube video. I've chatted with Verizon and they have no recommendations, I have a post on Samsung board with no reply. Anybody have any other ideas or know if this is a known issue and if so is there a work around? TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] alfamega190:
U can try a reset from recovery. Not sure if u wanna go that far. But it fixes he issue for me and a few others

What's the point of having a bigger screen if you can't use it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hasibzaman:
for me the crop to fit icon was there until yesterday evening then suddenly it's gone

I did factory reset

Icon will appear but after the updates (Samsung apps) the crop to fit icon went missing again

so I guess it's one the Samsung app that's causing the issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] egren58:
Yeah some of the update is causing for it to go away
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] marctronixx:
i still have the crop to fit icon. i just picked a random video on the tube.

tmobile variant. stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Hasney:
Yeah, the crop to fit has gone for me too.

UK Unlocked S8+ and the latest phone update hasn't dropped for me yet. On the August security patch still.

I know YouTube likes to do random A/B testing sometimes with layouts even on the same version, so wondering if they're testing a background change that broke it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nano303:
I will be following this thread as I also have this issue. Need my YouTube big!! I hate it like this even videos look too cropped !! It's funny because it works on Amazon prime video, it works on Hulu. Netflix is already automatically big.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] droidrev71:
Gone for me and a couple other note 8 owners I know. One friend still has the crop to fit icon. Strange!! I emailed Samsung but who knows what good that'll do. Hopefully they can fix this soon.

I have the same issue like everyone. I'm on rooted Dr. Ketan N4 room with Iron kernel 1.1.2. Had the crop to fit issue on latest YouTube before this current update so I manually downgraded to YouTube 12.29.57. This gave me full horizontal and vertical crop to fit since horizontal crop was no longer working. Now, the crop to fit icon is gone. Did anyone try pinch out to zoom to get full screen working? It obviously won't work on my older YouTube. Just want your feedback if I upgrade to latest. Thanks.

Fix:

1. Update YouTube to latest version

2. Power down your phone. Wait for 2 mins.

3. Switch on your phone.

4. Open YouTube.

5. Start any video. It will show you instructions about pinch to zoom

Update doesn't work for me

I downloaded the apk and updated the YouTube to the latest version but there seems to be no solution for me. I'm using Brazilian carrier note 8 and no matter what, I ve never been able to see neither the pop up for the full screen neither the pinch to zoom ability. Anyone has any solution for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
Try clearing out the YouTube cache in setting/apps

Reboot and see.

Also can try clearing the cache and uninstalling the YouTube updates (in the same menu ,settings/app/YouTube and click on 3 dots an uninstall updates) then reinstall the 12.44.52 version and see.

That version 12.44.52 works on my n950f with pinch to zoom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Sanderiw:
Thank you. I have no idea what I did, but later on the pinch function started to work out of nothing and now i can load the videos fullscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MatroxD:
Well, I will say that it started working for me.. And one thing I must admit that I like, that the crop to fit didn't do, was stay that way throughout the whole viewing session (until you closed the app, no matter how many videos you watch..).. That is a welcome change.. But now, I have a question: what I'm the world do we do with our crop to fit button? I guess it's not a big deal since it disappears in a few seconds..

Lol, I still hold my original comment that they shouldn't mess up our devices to make other phones better...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blootz:
I have found the solution... look up "[Non-Root] YouTube Vanced" and download it. I'm new to this site so I'm not sure if I can post links. But once you download it.... you can "pinch to zoom" in your YouTube app to go to full screen. Also I've found that it also gives you other cool YouTube features that the stock app doesn't allow prior to this install. The one I use, is now the factory setting on YouTube videos now automatically play in 1440p or their highest video setting without me having to change it in the setting after the video plays. May sound like not a big deal to you, b but it's a very big deal to me. Especially since I have unlimited data and I always have a perfect connection in the area I live and work, this note 8 has once again become my favorite phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fireguy0306:
Ok odd question. When doing the "Former Note 7" process i can select a carrier, AT&T in my case. I thought the only phones offered for the Note 7 people were the US unlocked ones and thus not that carrier branded phones?

Or am i just interpreting it wrong and these are the unlocked ones just with a carrier SIM included?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] harveydent:
You can choose an unlocked or a carrier branded phone when ordering from Samsung US. All of them will be the US Snapdragon versions. AFAIK, the unlocked ones are heavily backordered and won't ship til October (vs the carrier-locked ones which will ship out this week), but Samsung has also said they'll be shipping out all preorders before the 14th so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fireguy0306:
Hmm originally I couldn't do that. Why now wouldn't I return my AT&T one I paid full price for and order one for $425 off through Samsung? Besides I may have to wait.
