Why are you covering the sensor? It isn't the light sensor that you are covering, it sounds like it is the proximity sensor. However, I've not seen any app playing a movie/video blank the screen in that way. I just started up a video on my iPhone X with the TV app that is part of the Apple iOS, and no matter what part of the screen I cover, the video continues to play. You do not have the option to turn off the proximity sensor.


Please explain exactly what you are doing and what happens. And the colorful language is not necessary.
