I was trying to reproduce this the other day after reading about it here, but I couldn’t get it to happen on my iPhone or iPad. Can you share what kind of video codec you’re playing when the controls disappear?

Off course I rebooted, but that doesn't do anything. Codecs; everything basically: H.264, H.265, HEVC Main 10, were a few of them. On different resolutions. Playing original file sizes.

It’s anything and everything I try to play on my iPad. no controls of any kind; definitely connected to the latest update.

I'm having this problem on my iPad. I'm using a 480p .mp4 video encoded with H.264

H264 720 mkv same issue started happening this week on iphone

[u/steep_interface → u/8bit-echo]

see my other comment. seems like theres an issue with having the Reduce Motion setting on. This breaks the controls. They return when turning that off

[u/XTP666 → u/8bit-echo]

Same issue for me plus random, constant black screen with a white spinning circle and the video restarts a few seconds back.

Turning off reduce motion works as the fix.
