Since beginning of ipad os 16 there have been a notification in the middle of the screen when playing video in fullscreen on safari.
i have reported it several times with no luck.
The notification say ex. “Youtube is now in fullscreen swipe down to close” it is overlaying the middle screen playbutton for about 2-3 seconds so you have to wait these seconds to press play.. it is super annoying and waste of time but also looks so unpolished with playbutton and that notification overplaying each other.

Also the top bar showing wifi, time and battery etc. is also experiencing problems with overlay from the browser screen behind

Quick calculation… say you watch 100 videos a day… which is not uncommon with video length today.
that is 100x2seconds time x 365 days that is 20.2 hours a year of waiting for that message to go away! that is in my case 2 days of my freetime a year! wasted

I find it ugly and unprofessional that an errors like this can exist for this long and especially when using a 2000$ device .. it seems apple does not even take the bug reports serious or maybe even read them

I can see on reddit and apple own forum people complain about this

In these links please provide feedback to apple so these problems can be fixed:
