If youâve been missing watching YouTube videos at full resolution on your phone we can understand your pain. 

Youtube and Google recently restricted video quality on mobile devices to 480p to protect the internet infrastructure thanks to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

While most of us are stuck at home, we want to catch up on our favourite channels and documentaries on our phones at the best quality possible.

While you can still watch YouTube videos at full quality on your TV, Chromecast, Apple TV and even browsers, smartphones tend to be the most used device to consume YouTube content. 

If youâve been wanting to watch YouTube videos at full quality, follow our guide below. 

Do note this method on works for Android devices as it uses an open-source app that is not available on the Play Store. It is worthy to note that the YouTube restriction is temporary and will roll back to the way it was once the COVID-19 situation improves.  

Follow These Steps:

You can even download your favourite videos and create your own playlists in the app.
