The recent install of iOS 26.2 has caused YT playback to be weird. At the place in the middle of the screen where the Play button usually appears, it’s now a continuous counterclockwise circle that appears over the playing video. I can’t determine a setting change that would eliminate the distraction & just play the video with no control buttons on the screen. Any & all advice appreciated in advance.
TOPICS: Computers/Internet
KEYWORDS: apple; iphone; settings; vanity; video; youtube
Besides the continuous circulation circle, all the video controls also remain on the screen.

II have a work supplied phone. Not only do they demand updates, but they raise the minimum password complexity, and increase the frequency that I have to enter it.

Did that change?
Last I heard it was
When in doubt, empty the magazine.
Oh I think I am confusing "Golden Rule" with "Murphy's rules for combat"
My bad.

Thanks for your reply. When I went to YT this morning, the problem had resolved itself. Maybe YT did an overnight update??
