YouTube Studio Earn tab missing on mobile app 2026

If the Earn tab is missing from your YouTube Studio mobile app in April 2026, the most likely cause is an outdated app version or a regional system update. As of February 2026, YouTube ended support for Studio app versions 24.04 and below, requiring Android 11.0 or iOS 17 or higher to function correctly. To fix this, visit the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and update to the latest version. If the tab is still missing after updating, ensure you are signed into the correct Google account with Owner or Manager permissions, as restricted roles may no longer see monetization data. Occasionally, a temporary cache glitch can hide the tab; clearing the app cache or performing a fresh reinstall typically restores the bottom navigation menu. If your channel was recently demonetized or is under review, the Earn tab may also revert to a basic eligibility tracker.
