Affected version

0.27.7

Steps to reproduce the bug

Watch any video whilst having auto rotation turned off so that the fullscreen button shows up in NewPipe, not sure if this matters but I figured I'd mention my exact situation.

Next try swiping in from the edges of the screen, there's an extremely small part of the edge where when swiping in from that edge a warning message will show up about NewPipe not being optimized for the latest android version.

This message is probably intended for phones with rounded screen edges or something like that, but I use a Galaxy S23 which does not have this.
I believe the position your finger needs to be in when starting the swipe is like 4 - 8 of the last pixels near the edges, which given the size of human fingers might as well be called pixel perfect.

I've attached a small recording where I trigger this message about 3 times and you can see from the touch bubble that it takes several attempts to do so.

The message is probably intentional, but I do believe this is not the right circumstance it was intended for.

The only reason I even noticed this at all is because the sides of my phone were a bit dirty and I was trying to swipe them off, lol.

Expected behavior

Nothing should happen when this near pixel-perfect swipe is performed as this message is the only thing that even triggers with this action

Actual behavior

An unnecessary message pops up with nothing else happening at all nor is anything expected to happen with this action, therefore the message is nothing but a temporary obstruction of the screen
