So here's the situation: my sister has an iPhone that she uses to cast YouTube to her smart TV. I've got a Z Fold 7, and I've never connected to her YouTube account or the TV. Every time she casts something, I get notifications on my phone about her YouTube progress, along with options to pause or stop playback. Is there any way to disconnect this feature?

It sounds like a setting on the smart TV or the casting device. Check if the TV or the Chromecast (if she's using one) has an option to limit control to just the device that's casting. This way, it won’t allow anyone else on the Wi-Fi to control playback.
Yeah, that’s a common issue when you're all on the same network. She needs to disable the feature that lets others control her cast. I found this article that might help: https://www.techbout.com/stop-others-from-controlling-your-chromecast-device-42326/. Just send it to her!
Thanks! I’ll definitely pass that along. In the meantime, I switched to a different Wi-Fi.
