Hello,
Not sure where to put this so I’ll put it in the iPad section.
I have an issue and it’s been this way for many years. I thought maybe it’s because Youtube was not updated or maybe a iPadOS bug but I’ve updated both many times since and it still occurs in the same way.
So I’ll have Youtube App open and watching a video. Normal stuff right. Then I’ll pause the video or just swipe over to Safari/browser. Sometimes I’ll open Safari without swiping, it doesn’t seem to matter if I use a gesture or open it with it’s App icon.
Now let me be clear it does not happen ALL the time.
But it happens often.
(seems to be linked to more “heavy duty” safari searches (i.e. going onto a website that is using more processing power?). Then when I go back to the Youtube app, it “resets” back as if I had closed it and opened it. Meaning I have to search for the video I was watching and find the part in the video that I was at to resume watching it from where I left it.
Why is it like this? Why has it been this way for 5-6+ years? How can I fix it? Is it Youtube (Google/Android) trying to make Apple products more frustrating so that I switch over, or is it an OS problem (so Apple problem)?
Do you have this issue? For me it happens usually 3-4 times a day because I use Youtube and Safari/Browser a lot.

For more context I use an iPad Pro 11 inch from 2018 and it works completely fine for everything else.
