Hello Muchtaba. as far as commenting on youtube videos is concerned, I would like to suggest the following: click on comments and the list of comments opens. instead of swiping slide down with your finger towards the bottom of the window where you will find the edit box for inserting your comments. This works quite well for me on iPhone as well as on android.
