Why does my screen look like this when am watching youtube?

If you zoom at the picture, it loojs like a white plain paper that had contact with water a few hours ago.

I was watching the video at 1080

Using my phone at FDH+ resolution.

Forget the AI tag, I had to remove the person who was in the screenshot

If that doesnt tell enough, look at these bands on the left side

I'm not sure @BaronDigo 

Watching YouTube on my phone is fine. 

Have you double checked the settings withinnthe app. 

What's the experience when watching videos on alternative sources like ?

Alternative sources like

that's a new feature on the YouTube app, it's been around for ages, its to add ambiance or smth to the video rather than having solid black bands from where the aspect ratio of the video doesnt fit our long screens. notice how the band changes colours during the video, it's like those tv leds you can get that change colour depending on what's playing on tv

Ah I get it😂 well explained! Thank you, I thought it was my phone. Bad feature though.

I don't mind it, it looks pretty cool during gameplay videos
