Some Android phones from Google's Pixel series are experiencing a mysterious issue where the operating system freezes as soon as you start watching YouTube videos that contain clips from the director (Ridley Scott). The problem occurs when watching 4K videos, the crash only occurs when using the official YouTube app.
This problem was spotted by a group of Pixel phone users who complained on social media, and confirmed that the phone restarted immediately when watching a video, and reports of the problem on Pixel 7 and 7 phones, as well as Pixel 6 .6Pro and 6a phones. .
It is not possible to confirm if previous versions of Pixel have the same issue. In an experiment conducted by the Arab Technology News Portal, the problem did not appear on my Pixel 4 or Pixel 5 phones, and there are indications that the problem may be related to the Tensor chip used for processing in the latest generation of Pixel phones. Some have attributed this problem to an error in the processing of HDR video playback, although other videos that use the same technology do not have this problem.
Besides the phone restarting automatically, users say that this issue sometimes causes the network connection to drop until the user restarts the phone.
And (Pixel) is one of the trademarks of Google, as the company offers a group of smart phones and watches designed for the Android operating system under this name.
While bugs and software glitches are common to all smartphones, this particular problem was strange and mysterious. It is not uncommon for a video to cause such issues, especially when dealing with hundreds of millions of videos on a particular YouTube app.
It should be noted that Google has not yet commented on the cause of this problem.
