How to use The native iOS Video Player for Ipad os 13?

No, the OP is talking about videos on web pages in Safari. There used to be an option in Safari settings to “Disable Fullscreen API” so that websites would use the native iOS video player instead of any custom video players. That option has been finally removed in iOS 13. Now videos on websites play using custom video players which means that they are incredibly buggy, hard to navigate, and constantly have ads and pop ups. Custom video players cause a pretty terrible video experience and it is a huge negative regression for Apple to force users to use custom video players when the native iOS player was so much better.

I don’t have a fix for this but I hope someone does.

Potential solution to this issue: turn off Request Desktop Website in Settings —> Safari and force restart Safari.

Using safari in ios 13 on my ipad no longer allows me to use the native video player. This caused issues when streaming over to my apple tv via screen mirroring. I could no longer expand to full screen and watch on my whole tv screen. Tv screen would try to match the tablet aspect ratio causing smaller picture and lots of void on the edges.

solution: stream via iPhone or use Google Chrome for ipad. Both still use the native video player while in full screen and allow full screen while mirroring via apple tv.

This doesn’t help as most sites have their own way of how its displayed for this device/resolution, which for the most part over rides whatever safari’s default/requested is. PLEASE someone help us get back to a position where we could turn off the use the full screen API option, or somehow get the same result...

Thank you so much for being the only person to provide a real solution to this major disappointment!! Feels like apple’s support consists of people like “....errrrr umm cycle the power maybe..., if not you gotta take your device to the store and do a factory reset”.....like they hire people off the street in 3rd world countries and pay them in peanuts... It’s been a over 2 MONTHS guys!! NO SOLUTIONS??!

iPad Pro 13.2.3 I just turned it off as suggested and reloaded web page and it worked....thank you

new update just released think I’ll leave it last two have been a disaster seems Apple have their head in the sand !!

Here is the answer: Because of IPad OS and apple’s push to make ipad feel more like a desktop environment.

same here... works like before on iphone with os13.3. No native video player on my ipad running 13.3.

Hello,

Are you referring to playing YouTube videos in Safari in Apple's system video player?

Yes, I have the same issue

Hello,

Do you mean you wish to use iPad’s system video player in 3rd party applications? You will not be able to unless the application explicitly supports the system video player.

This problem still exists

May I know your settings that make the native iOS video player works?

Settings- safari and turn off “request desktop website “

Now there is only one question: why is everything working fine on the iPhone and on the iPad the Safari player is mutilated?
