iPhone Duo - Video playback controls missing.

On my iPhone Duo, I was watching a video about YouTube playback, it showed video playback controls while in flex mode, I tried the same and the controls were missing?

Has anyone had similar issues? If so is it just a setting I need to make?

Hi there

Please try this

Tap the Lower Screen Area: Make sure you are tapping directly on the lower half or designated control zone of the display (tapping certain areas doesn't trigger the overlay if the gesture registers as a dismiss).
Switch Cursor Modes (if using Accessibility): If you have Switch Control enabled, switch to gliding cursor mode and tap a neutral spot on the screen to reset the overlay.
Restart the App or Device: Force-close the YouTube app or perform a quick restart of your iPhone Duo to clear temporary UI glitches.
Toggle PiP / Autoplay in YouTube: Go to YouTube Settings > General / Playback and try toggling Picture-in-Picture or autoplay off and back on.
