Air Actions not working when I remove my S Pen while a YouTube Video is playing?

Hello! As mentioned in the title, when I press play on a YouTube video then remove my S Pen for Air Actions, it tells me it isn't supported for my current screen. I either have to close the video and click on it again for it to work, or I have to restart the app all together. This wasn't the case before the OneUi 6.1.1 update, where I could press play on a video, pull out my S Pen, and use Air Actions without any issues.

Furthermore, when I pull out my S Pen, the Air Command icon stays a solid gray until I hover over it, in which also wasn't the case before the 6.1.1 update. Are these bugs, or is this intentional by Samsung, and has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

Been having this exact same issue, can't seem to find a fix as of yet. Really frustrating seeing as that's all I used air gestures for. I even tried going into the advance settings and I can't add YouTube to the apps air commands work for. Would really appreciate a fix for this.

Hi, Try wiping the cache partition to see if that helps. It's safe and won't remove your settings or app files. It clears unnecessary files, some of which may be corrupt or glitchy. This procedure has been known to fix issues after a recent update, like in your case.

Follow the steps below, If you wish to go ahead:

Clear the cache partition
- shut phone off (shut down)
- Press and hold the Volume Up key, then press and hold the Side key.
- When the Android system recovery menu options show release buttons.
- Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
- Press Side key to select.
- Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, then press the Side key to select.
- When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
- Press the Side key to restart the device.
