Just a bunch of html text

It show’s not but a broken page of html text or something. Almost looks like it’s trying to show some kind of error but I’ll never know.

Sounds glitch constantly

Can’t watch any videos with the sound on because it’s automatically muted. And when I try to turn it up, it mutes itself again.

Broken

Just shows HTML upon opening the app. Doesn’t show any content.
