Same thing with Oneplus Nord2 5G.
Looks like a whatsapp player bug. It doesn't undestand the screen resolution when playing back video. No zoom.
BUT! if i hold phone horizontal, before launching video, then it works.
While video is playing.. If I tilt phone to vertical and then back to horizontal, then the resize bug comes back.

I have the same issue too on a S20U. Annoying as hell! Not many posts online about it until I found this one. hope a fix comes soon.

I have the exact same problem.
Galaxy S20. this is very annoying.

Same problem here. It seems related to the playback control area, below the video.
The video won't zoom to fullscreen when in landscape, as expected. But for now, the workaround has been told before:
Put the phone in landscape BEFORE playing the video in Whatsapp.
Ridiculous and annoying, but that´s what we have for now while this bug is not fixed.

That's a good work around! (For now) Thanks!

Former Samsung user, here. It's definitely not a Samsung specific issue. It was occurring on my Nokia 8.3 5g and weirdly is also occurring on the Poco F3 that I have just upgraded to. I'm wondering if I've exported the glitch when transferring my WhatsApp account and settings to the new phone.
As someone here kindly pointed out, it does work in full screen if I switch to landscape mode before going to full screen.
Hopefully there will eventually be a full fix for this.
