YouTube keeps unpausing itself.

Anyone know how to fix it? Or what might be the problem? I pause my video and out of nowhere, youtube unpauses itself. I dont have anything connected to unpause it so its nothing third party

My youtube does the same thing and I have no idea why.

Has been happening to me ever since I got my s21 ultra. Before that I had a note 10 plus and never had that issue. Hopefully it gets fixed soon because it's annoying.

I would recommend reaching as to the developers of YouTube as this is they only app you are experiencing these symptoms with.

Do you experience these symptoms with any other music apps?

Have you tried to force stop and clear the cache on the YouTube app?

[gello123]

Nope, it just happens with YouTube. I have tried clearing cache and restarting my phone. But to no avail.

I have this problem as well. I got the S21 about a month ago and it happens on every video. I previously had the S9 and did not experience this issue. I initially thought that it was some sort of facial recognition or motion activation feature that played the video without me touching the play button, but I don't think that's it.

Thank you for reaching out. Are you only experiencing these symptoms with the YouTube app or other music apps?

How long have you been experiencing these symptoms?

[MarioMiguelito]

I have been experiencing this issue the entire time I've had my S21 Ultra (February). It only happens with the YouTube app.
