Wrong aspect ratio in apps
Some apps, like YouTube, are cut by the black bar on top of my iPhone screen. How can I fix this problem.

Hi there lior193,
It sounds like certain parts of videos are being cut out by the area on the top of your iPhone that uses Face ID and the front-facing camera. We’d like to help however we can.
While there would not be a way to hide this area when you watch a video in fullscreen, most apps allow you to change the aspect ratio so that the whole video can be viewed without being cut off by this area on the top of your iPhone. To find out how to do this in specific apps, reach out to the app developer.
