Playing DRM content causes graphical issues, the notification UI, picture in picture makes the system freeze up and causes transparent elements to occasionally flicker

The picture in picture also occasionally freezes the screen and causes random coloured pixels

The issue only started happening after I updated to the December update -_-

Are you sure it's exclusive to DRM and does not include HDR content on any platform? Try HDR shots and videos on IG and YT.

Netflix specifically? or Amazon as well?

Is Developer mode turned on, on your phone?

winter sleet Dec 23, 2025, 1:49 PM

Netflix is the only app I have that it happens with and I don't have any other apps with DRM video playback

Worth checking out DRM content on other platforms. Maybe, it's just Netflix which is causing the bug.

And yes I have developer mode on

Can you turn Developer mode off, restart the phone and check if you are facing the issue?

winter sleet Dec 23, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

Sure, but it will take a while for it to happen again

Still happening

Then my guess is this is a Netflix issue and not DRM issue.

The only way to know is if you try to play DRM content from 2 other platforms.
