Anybody else seeing a problem when scrolling through where videos play initially for a micro-second, then turn black? If I disable autoplay I can see the initial video image, but then when I click on the video, the video window will then immediately turn black.

This is on IPad Pro 17.1.2 IOS and has only started since the recent Reddit update. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, no difference. If I use the web app then Videos play fine, it’s only the IPad app that has the problem.
