“…” is in full screen swipe down to exit error

Whenever i go full screen on Safari, the native video player of iOS fails to function, and the notification indicating Safari's full screen persists for approximately 3 seconds without disappearing. I've tried restarting the phone and clearing Safari's cache, but to no avail.

Why does my iPhone crash while watching YouTube? When watching YouTube in 2160p resolution on an iPhone, if you switch to full screen mode and quickly zoom in, the device may crash. This issue appears to be related to the processing load required to handle high-resolution video playback while dynamically adjusting the zoom. Users have reported that the screen freezes or the app force closes, sometimes even causing the iPhone to restart. This problem can be frustrating, especially for users who frequently watch high-quality videos. It is important for Apple to address this issue in future iOS updates to ensure smoother performance and better stability when handling high-resolution content. Keeping the device software and the YouTube app updated may help reduce the chances of encountering this bug, but a permanent fix from Apple is needed. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I have noticed this too. It's an extreme waste of time and covers up the play button in center of screen.

Apple should add a way to turn off this message: ".." is in full screen. Swipe down to exit"

So far only workaround is to use Microsoft Edge browser where the message doesn't appear when going full screen.
