YouTube fixes the bug that made your comments and video details vanish

Google has confirmed that the full-screen bug affecting YouTube's video details and comments has been fixed. The update, part of the latest YouTube update, is now available for download. This should also resolve the need for users to switch between portrait and landscape modes to restore the missing interface elements.

In addition to fixing the video player issue, YouTube's recent updates are also bringing a minor UI improvement to its video player. However, there's more than just a change in appearance. Google support has revealed that the updates also address an iPad-specific problem that was causing comments, video titles, descriptions, and other details to vanish when exiting full-screen playback.

The issue, previously reported by users, left a blank space beneath the video player after users returned from full-screen playback. Unfortunately, the missing interface elements didn't return even after switching videos, restarting the iPad, or reinstalling the YouTube app. This bug has now been rectified with the latest update.
