Youtube pop out window is always in the bottom right of my screen, how do I fix this?

[1BigWayne]

I'm having an issue where any time I'm using the pop out window feature so I can browse othe apps while watching YouTube (or Twitch for that matter) the window always appears in the bottom right of my screen where my 'back' and 'home' button are and it's layered under them.

Anytime I try and move it from that spot and try to slide it up, it acts as though I'm trying to remove it and disappears. It will then reappear later when I slide to different apps and screens.

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S 10e. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi, welcome to AC!

You can't drag it around the screen?

Welcome to Android Central! On my Pixel 3 XL, when I start to drag the PiP window, a little X in a circle shows up at the bottom center of the screen. If I drag the window anywhere near that X, it goes away. So when you drag the window, make sure you drag it straight up​ to avoid that X, and see if that works better.

Whenever I try to drag it up it just slingshots back down the X and disappears

Try wiping the cache partition: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...s10e/wipe-cache-partition-samsung-galaxy-s10e

Glad B. Diddy clear cache worked, also in future can force stop or clear data and force stop the app also ,it resets it .

Welcome to Android Central! Try clearing the app cache/data for YouTube in the Settings>Apps ​menu.
