    Anyone else have really tiny buttons/controls when viewing YouTube videos? I welcome the added screen space, but it makes it impossible to rewind a video, or skip. Anyone have a fix for this, or is this just how YouTube looks? Desktop mode is off, incase that is a problem.

    Buttons are fine in my end. Not sure what you mean. Maybe post a screencap.

    If you're talking about YouTube videos using the browser...
    I get the same thing. The buttons are really small for play, full screen and slider. Even in full screen mode they are still small.
    I just use the app if I need to. FastTube is ok.

    As others have posted, you're probably in desktop mode. Turning this off will likely solve your problem.

    I also suggest installing FastTube. It's a great youtube experience with no ads.

    OP has said that 'Desktop Mode' is off as this would be the 1st setting to check I'd imagine.

    Based on my experience, not very often but sometimes when clicking a link for a YouTube video they are loaded via the desktop version of YouTube which means that the UI buttons are super small and pretty much unusable.

    Having an app doesn't really help for this issue as clicking a link to a YouTube video doesn't load the app by default.

    Well, this is odd. Went to go snap a screenshot, but now it's giving me the normal controls. As I said, desktop mode was, and still is, off. Possibly a quirk of 10.2 leak?
