Is going full screen, while watching YouTube, causing my Android Motorola phone to crash?
Crash as in going offline for 10 seconds to a hour or more.
I have had that problem with my used phone since day one two years ago.
My phone is paid off.
Moto g fast is the model number.

Yes. Although it wasn’t necessarily Youtube – it could have been anything.
Phones, like any computers, have microprocessors (CPUs). When they are working (computing) they produce heat. Most newer phones have a sensor internally that will turn off the phone if the CPU temperature reaches some limit – so as not to damage the CPU or any other components of the phone.
Watching a video, full screen, is using a lot of CPU and therefore creating a lot of heat.
So in this case, the protective circuits inside the phone did exactly what they are supposed to.
I have a Moto G Power and so far no problems. :)
