GoKawiilYouTube users report full-screen and audio bug on Android and iOS
Some YouTube users say videos are randomly dropping out of full-screen mode into the floating mini player, with audio cutting out entirely. Restoring sound reportedly requires restarting the video or the app, though one user said even that workaround failed. The issue was first reported on Reddit roughly two weeks ago and appears to still be ongoing.
