I experienced the same issue on my iPhone 16 Pro. When zooming in on a video, it suddenly switches to the Lock Screen, and the screen brightness automatically dims. The YouTube app is fully updated, and my phone is running iOS 18.2.1.

Make sure your iPhone is updated to latest iOS and your YouTube app is updated also. My iPhone doesn’t have that issue and I don’t recall any posts about that issue here. It may be a YouTube issue.
