Bug description

I will attach a video as well.

This is not the first time I have noticed this bug. I have noticed it for quite a while now. I was just too lazy to report it

While I am playing a youtube video, if I share the link of that video or click a link in the description box while playing a video, the video will go into PIP mode or Background play mode and then instantly close on it's own when I enter another app. Whether that app is a messaging application or a browser.

are you using the pre-release version? if not try there. this bug isn't reproducible on my phone, but PiP support has been lacking since months. if the bug still reproduces after updating, consider open the bug report in RVX issue center since we share the same codebase. (attaching some logs would be nice)
