How to Fix: YouTube Trending Option Not Showing

If the YouTube trending option is not showing for you, don't worry. There are two ways around it. The first way is to open YouTube or go to your YouTube app. Once open, tap the home button in the bottom left so you can see the explore icon on the top left. Tap it. Then you'll have different sections. So go ahead and tap gaming. Now, if you want to see trending gaming videos, you scroll down to where you see trending videos and you can tap view all. But you may have noticed some of the old categories are no longer there. So to see those old categories, let's use a second way. First, you want to download the free view stats app from the app store. And once you open it here, it'll default to the top trending channels where you can look at those. You can even scroll down and tap on entertainment and go by category. But we're looking for the top trending videos, right? So, let's go back. Tap top list in the bottom left. Scroll down and you're going to see top long videos and top shorts. But it defaults to the last 7 days. So, in the top rightand corner, tap that. Choose how far back you'd like to look. So, I'm going to tap 28 days. And we can see top long videos. If we tap see all, you'll see all of them. And we can also do the same thing for all shorts. And on the bottom, you'll have filters and sort. We can actually tap on category and scroll down to what you're looking for. Now, this piece is a little buggy and doesn't always switch over to the category, but you can tell that it's being built into the app, even if YouTube removed the trending tab.
