YouTube update breaks fullscreen on my Android 9 phone
Breaking things that worked flawlessly for years, nice. Hopefully fixed soon. It’s not just me is it?
Screen rotates when I click the fullscreen button but video doesn’t fill the screen, rotates back to vertical after a second. I was able to get it to work properly by turning on rotate screen in the pull down menu and then turning the phone. It still remained in the squashed format shown above but when I pull the video down and then tap on the minimized video it pops out into full screen finally. So it’s still usable but the 5 step fix is pretty frustrating.
No I haven’t filed a bug report, youtube is a grownup company and do it’s own rudimentary beta testing. Sad to see unforced errors like this more and more common in longstanding industry standard apps.
