Videos (like YouTube) fast forward or backward by itself

Hi, I have been having an issue where my videos fast forward and backward by itself. For example when in YouTube it randomly starts happening, first by bringing up the pause button, as if I touched the screen (I did not) and then most times a few seconds later it fast forwards or backwards on its own like 20-30 seconds. It’s quite annoying. I have noticed on other videos as well, so may not be YouTube.


Yes I have updated my software, and yes I’ve restarted my iPad several times. This has been going on for months now.


Thank you!

iPad Air, iPadOS 14

Have you fitted a screen protector, or are perhaps using a fitted case that incorporates a screen protector of some kind? Some poor quality screen protectors and fitted cases have been known to cause issues with screen touch-responses - including “ghost” touch inputs.
