Hello.

Why does YouTube's iOS app require camera and microphone access when I
only want to upload my recorded videos? Vimeo, Instagram, Facebook,
etc.'s apps don't do this in my iPhone. Am I missing something?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Because Google is a spy company that wants to know more about you.
Can't you just use Safari to access YT on your iOS device?

It's probably because the youtube apps allows you to record and edit a
video in-app.

But frankly, you should really not use their app to access that website.
It's very insidious.
