Those of you who have many apps installed on their devices should consider the possibility of this being the cause.
Visual effects are placing a burden on your device
This problem mainly affects those using devices such as an iPhone or an iPad, and involves the visual effects placing a burden on the device and causing the app to shut down unexpectedly.
This may come as a surprise, but visual effects place a considerable burden on your device.
What to do when YouTube shuts down unexpectedly
If your cache is full

To empty your cache, you should use an app that would empty your cache for free rather than deleting data one by one.
If you are using unnecessary location services

You can adjust location service settings from your device’s settings menu.
If you are using an iPhone, you can go into Settings and then Privacy.
If visual effects are placing a burden on your device
