Picture in Picture not working correctly

So I followed this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1hu5ar4/if\_youre\_having\_trouble\_with\_picture\_in\_picture/

And confirmed I had the correct settings. My issue is different though.

When I open up YouTube and need to use PiP, it works well the FIRST time I need to do it.

After I return to the app, any subsequent times I need to use PiP, it does not work. I have to close the app fully, reopen the app, find the video again, and then continue watching until I the cycle needs to be repeated again (PiP one time, followed by an app restart to “reload” my PiP usage)

I am on YouTube premium, I’m using an iPhone 17 pro on latest iOS update and latest app update
