How to Search YouTube App on iPhone SE (self.Blind)
submitted by lalalinnb
Hello all,
My brother has a new goal for his phone, as we're still learning how to use it. He wants to know if there is a way to search the YouTube app, not the internet, for a video via Siri or another avenue of accessibility.
For instance, if he says "Hey Siri, search Dragon Ball Z on YouTube." it still takes him to videos on the internet, and those are difficult for him to get to at the moment.
​
Any suggestions?

Does he know how to use voiceover?
Open youtube, swipe about 3 times and double tap on the search button and then either type or tap twice with 2 fingers and speak what you want to search ffor, then double tap on the bottom right to search.

I’ve found the easiest way to do this is to add a shortcut. If using Voiceover, make sure the shortcut doesn’t open voice search because it doesn’t play well with voiceover. Set the shortcut up for a search to open on YouTube then do a two finger double tap to dictate your desired search. Only Android allows you to search YouTube like the way you are describing right now.
