Can you visit YouTube on your Android/iOS smartwatch?
Welcome to Blackview (Well-known brand of rugged phones and Android smart watches) blog. Hope the guide helps.
No, smartwatches, such as Apple Watches and Samsung Galaxy watches, don't have a native YouTube app that lets you watch videos directly on the watch.
However, there are a couple of workarounds:
Apple Watch: There are third-party apps available in the App Store that allow you to control YouTube playback on your iPhone from your Apple Watch. One such app is called "WatchTube". Extending reading: "Apple Watch cellular vs GPS: Is Apple Watch cellular worth it?" And, "Can you use an Apple Watch with an Android phone?" And, "Do Apple watches have cameras?"
Samsung Galaxy Watch: While there are no third-party apps specifically designed for YouTube on Galaxy watches, some Galaxy watches allow you to access the web browser. This means you could potentially browse to the YouTube website and watch videos that way, though the small screen size and navigation challenges might make for a less than ideal experience. It's important to note that not all Galaxy watches have this functionality.

It's important to remember that the small screen and battery life of smartwatches aren't ideal for extensive YouTube watching. They might be suitable for short clips, but for longer viewing, it's recommended to use your smartphone or tablet.
