YouTube Shorts - anyone know how to...

[Jitter]

Hey Members, 

YouTube Shorts - anyone know how to get rid of the Up ⬆️, Pause ⏸️Down ⬇️ symbols in the center of 99.9% of every Short video on YouTube? In almost EVERY case it's annoying and blocks my view. Bad enough the Author adds in app kinds of type matter at the bottom and top. 

I've been looking everywhere for a long time to rid these symbols. It's obvious by now that when I want to change to another Short I swipe up or down, and if I want to pause I can tap anywhere... Right?! Don't need constant reminders of how to do it. 😊

Anyone, can you offer a solution?

Did you ever find a solution for this? I've been dealing with the same thing

Sadly no I haven't found any settings anywhere to resolve this. I've sent messages to YouTube and the answers are all the same - a step by step on the things I've already tried, and told them I've tried it in my original message. Crazy right?! 😊. When and if I find it I will let you know. Can't promise when as you can see I'm a month late seeing your reply, I'm sorry .

I'm constantly trying to find solutions to try to get things right - some success, mostly failures but will never stop me from trying. 😊😊
