Now, thankfully, the platform has restored the ability to watch videos in 1080p on mobile in India. My colleague Abhimanyu and I tested this on a couple of Android and iOS devices, and we can confirm that HD video quality is indeed back. At the moment, you can access these videos in HD through your Wi-Fi connection. However, YouTube seems to be restricting video quality to 480p on mobile data. We’ve reached out to Google for more details, and we’ll update the story if we hear back. A report from Medianama published suggested that while Netflix India lifted its bitrate limits last month.
