With this, users can now watch a vertically shot video in
the correct aspect ratio. Before now, attempting fullscreen on a vertical video
played it in landscape with massive black bars on the side. Now playing a
vertical video in fullscreen ensure the screen is still in portrait so the
video fills your entire screen.
Bye bye, black bars. ?Now the YouTube player on iOS will automatically adapt to the shape of the video you’re viewing! pic.twitter.com/4jzJ6nPj4G
