Overview

• The Auto Zoom feature crops video edges unpredictably when switching to landscape, drawing widespread user complaints.
• Users currently must tap an on-screen button to revert each video to its original view after cropping occurs.
• Android Authority’s code analysis uncovered strings for a new disable toggle placed below the existing Zoom to fill screen setting.
• Google has not provided a rollout schedule for the upcoming disable-Auto Zoom switch.
• Once available, the manual control will empower viewers to decide if videos fill their screen without automatic cropping.
