Hello,

I found a visual bug in iOS 27 when using YouTube in the background.

Steps:

  1. Play a video on YouTube.
  2. Lock the iPhone while the video continues playing.
  3. Long-press the Lock Screen.
  4. Before the customization menu opens, observe the YouTube media player.

Issue:

The YouTube media player rapidly flickers/flashes approximately 10 times before the customization menu appears.

Expected:

The transition should be smooth without flickering.

Device: iPhone 15 iOS: 27.0.1

I can provide a screen recording if needed.

Thank you.

Update: This is not specific to YouTube. I can also reproduce it with Spotify, so it appears to be the system Lock Screen media widget rather than an app issue.

Still reproducible on iOS 27.0.1 (iPhone 15). First observed on 27.0.
