Check the soil and see if it’s too wet it’s overwatering issue, or if you see roots coming out the bottom it’s root bound and needs a new home in a larger pot however, if the soil is super wet and the roots are ok then take a chopstick or something and poke holes in the soil to air rate it so it can get oxygen so it will go ahead and dry out… Act now or it will slowly die, pluck all bad leaves off

Brown tips at the end is a under watering issue

I typically underwater to avoid bugs

Someone once told me concerning my Pothos that if the yellow leaves are some of the earliest leaves, then it’s likely just the natural life cycle of this leaf dying. So I’d say if the rest of the plant is healthy, etc then this is just natural to have an occasional leaf of two yellow. I would not be concerned.

That’s exactly what I would state  
I usually let them stay on for the plant to get nutrients, until it gets all yellow … to the point if you pull on it lightly, it will come right off✨🧡✨
