Annoying unfixed bugs for some months now. Biggest issue: Massive battery drain and phone overheating (S25Ultra). Annoyance: When switching from watching shorts on the main tab and switching to watching regular videos, it stops playing when, rotating, pinching, and so on. When closing the short that's still open in the background, the issue is gone.

My god, the AI translation is AWFUL. Horrible to anyone who speaks more than 1 language or who is trying to learn! It would be cool if it were an extra feature that you could enable if you want. But I hate how it's the default. I have to switch it off every time I want to watch videos from other countries. The way it's done is too forceful and very annoying. It shouldn't be the default. The default should be the original language! Then we can choose subtitles or dubbing if we want. Not like this

This app has constantly gotten more ad-centric. I get the desire to put ads on videos, but now having you see an ad when you pause a video is ridiculous. Can't pause/play/pause/play to find a specific moment anymore because I accidentally skipped to the next video when the sidebar ad pops up. AND after dismissing an ad, having a smaller version block part of the screen? cmon enough with the ads already.
