As reported from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-7-youtube-video-reboot-bug-3290054\/\">Android Authority<\/a>, there is a video on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/downloads\/youtube\">YouTube<\/a> that blocks these smartphones and causes you can not use it easily after playing it. The only way to make it work properly again is to restart it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The particular video it won&#8217;t allow to play is <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MbdVuStrEV8&amp;ab_channel=ApexClips\"><strong>a clip<\/strong> <strong>from Ridley Scott&#8217;s Alien movie in 4K<\/strong><\/a>. The reasons why this happens are not very clear, but in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/11byf50\/my_pixel_7_pro_reboots_on_specific_youtube_clip\/\">a Reddit thread<\/a> dozens of Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6A and Pixel 6 users agree that the same error happens to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Captura-de-pantalla-2023-02-28-a-las-10.34.45.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-273729\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alien vs Google Pixel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently, <strong>there are some users who do not suffer from this same error<\/strong>, such as Android expert Mishaal Rahman, who explains that his Google Pixel 6 Pro did not crash. However, the vast majority of those who have this range of cell phones have the same thing happen to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A bunch of folks on Reddit are reporting that playing a specific YouTube video causes their Pixel 7\/7 Pro to immediately reboot and have issues with network connectivity.<br><br>This didn&#39;t crash my Pixel 6 Pro, but you are warned.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7UoLJU5SFS\">https:\/\/t.co\/7UoLJU5SFS<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MishaalRahman\/status\/1629648847310913537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 26, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The video has been uploaded to the platform for two years now, and is basically <strong>a scene from the 1979 movie <a href=\"https:\/\/alien-isolation.en.softonic.com\/android\">Alien<\/a> in 4K HDR quality<\/strong>. It&#8217;s not clear if the alien in the movie has a thing for Google phones or if Ridley Scott is more of an iPhone guy, but in any case we don&#8217;t recommend opening the video if you have one of these phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/mozilla-reliability-labels-security-apps-google-play-store\">Google<\/a> has not commented on the problem, but experts believe it may be due to the way pixels are treated in the playback of this video.
