Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The video always auto-plays, but the UI never disapear automatically, leaving a big pause button and the long progress bar always visible until you tap away.
Describe the solution you'd like
By default, autoplay the video (as it does) but do not show the UI until the user taps on the screen. Also, if the video is playing, make the UI automatically disapear after a few seconds (3~4sc would be good), because if it's not interacted with then it's probably not worth it being shown.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An option to not autoplay videos would definitely get things in the right direction, but wouldn't be as usable as the suggestion i favored.
Additional context
I have both extremly short and extremly long videos on my phone (a few seconds to several hours) and i use Gallery for watching both.
