TL;DR
- Google has confirmed that YouTube’s full-screen bug that made video details and comments disappear has been fixed.
- The fix is rolling out with the latest YouTube update, which affected users can now download.
- The update should also eliminate the need for the portrait-to-landscape workaround used to restore the missing interface.
YouTube’s latest updates are giving its video player another small UI makeover, but there’s more happening than just changing more how you scrub through videos. According to Google support, we’re also getting a fix for an annoying iPad bug that was making comments, titles, descriptions, and other video details disappear after exiting full screen.
As we had previously reported, the issue left a blank void beneath the video player whenever affected users returned from full-screen playback. The missing interface elements wouldn’t come back even after switching videos, restarting the iPad, or reinstalling the app.
