Since April, some Android users have been experiencing a display issue on the YouTube app that affects how videos play back in full-screen mode. Specifically, when watching a video in landscape orientation (the standard horizontal view on phones), video recommendations—usually found at the bottom of the screen—appear over the playback area. This overlap hides part of the playback controls, makes it harder to navigate through the video, and covers the progress bar, which users rely on to jump to specific parts of the video. The timer showing the current position in the video can also be hidden behind the recommendations, making it harder to track where a user is in the content. This issue has been reported by users for several months, with the first known report dating back to April. A user on the online forum Reddit shared a screenshot that clearly illustrated the problem, sparking further discussion. Since then, many other users have confirmed they are experiencing the same issue. More recently, a user posted about the problem on the official YouTube community forum and received a response offering some temporary solutions to help mitigate the problem. One suggested fix is to close the YouTube app completely and then reopen it, ensuring that the app is updated to the latest version. Another workaround involves switching the screen orientation from landscape to portrait during playback and then switching back. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, users are advised to check if the problem occurs only with specific types of videos. As an alternative, they can try using YouTube through a mobile browser instead of the Android app. For users who continue to experience the issue, YouTube provides a built-in feedback system. Users can report the problem directly through their Profile > Settings > Send Feedback option. They can also include a screenshot showing the overlap, which can help YouTube's support team better understand and address the issue. While the problem persists, these temporary fixes aim to help users continue using the app with fewer disruptions.
