GoKawiilYouTube app bug covers video progress bar with 'watch next' suggestions on Android
Numerous Android users report that YouTube's full-screen video player is being partially obscured by suggested 'watch next' videos, blocking the progress bar and preventing scrubbing. The issue has reportedly been occurring since at least April, with a fresh wave of complaints emerging recently, including from Android Authority's own staff who saw it appear and disappear intermittently. Google has not publicly acknowledged the glitch, leaving users uncertain whether it's a bug or a UI experiment.
