Its still on my Ipad and we are on 17.2! its blocking the Play button I simply dont understand that they did not atleast move it to a corner if they want it there so much.
It took years for them to move the volume hud info from the middle to the left of the screen so I dont have high hopes.
It just looks so messy and you are reminded of this countless times daily on every video you full screen with a 2000$ ipad.
It overlays the play button in the middle screen for most players in safari so you have to wait for the message to go away to use middle screen playbutton.
For me it often results in me trying to push the smoll smoll playbutton in lower left and pressing wrong button.

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 tried apple community and apple support with no help

If any say I use ipad 12.9 m1 with the ”advanced multi tasking option“ on

Unfortunately I believe you are stuck with it.
Apple is understandably afraid of users getting stuck there. Though a ‘never show again’ toggle would be nice.

In 17.2 there is a new error in safari fullscreen.

When you go full screen after a few seconds the player controls go away as they should and you have complete full screen.
Say you want the controls back or see the time, date, wifi or battery% you press the screen once..
looks like they made an error and made the top bar transparent so now the browser will show as background instead.

If anyone else is annoyed with this or want to help me get rid my daily annoyance using safari to watch videos in fullscreen.
