Safari/YouTube app problem
I have the pro 12.9, when I open a YouTube link from Safari the video does not open, instead the last video I opened in the YouTube app plays. When I open the video link a second time the intended video finally plays.
How do I fix this? I don't think I can. So, how do I report this to Apple? Literally every video link I open from Safari does not work the first time. If I show someone a link it doesn't work, makes iPad looks like a low quality joke tablet, opening a video link is one of the most basic things you can do on any computing device. Seriously, £800 device doesn't perform a basic function properly.

Do you have problems with non-youtube videos as well? Have you tried different youtube apps?
No, Vimeo liveleak etc opens first time. It isn't a case of using a different YouTube app because safari automatically opens the default app.
so then it's probably a problem with the youtube app, and not an apple-problem? if you delete the youtube app you can view the videos in safari. I use YouPlayer instead of the youtube default, since it support the frame-in-frame feature, which, oddly, youtube does not.
Of course it is an apple problem. Safari is an apple app and apple approve the YouTube app. When they set up the facility to open videos in the YouTube app from safari they apparently didn't check it, which is outrageous considering how much money they have for product refinement.
