IPadOS 15 auto pauses videos for some strange reason. Advice requested.
I upgraded to iPadOS 15 and everything is smooth except for one hugely annoying and inconvenient issue: whenever I am in split screen mode (let’s say, the CNN/YouTube/ABC app in one screen and Safari in another), if I am watching a video or live stream in one of the apps and working in Safari, if a video loads in Safari then the video streaming app pauses. It does not matter what kind of video it is: a pre-loaded video ad, a background video on a web page, or a regular video.
The behavior suggests that whichever screen I’m “working in” takes priority by the OS and the other screen (with the streaming video) should be paused. This is maddening (if I am streaming CNN, I don’t want an important story “paused” simply because iPadOS “thinks” I want to see some annoying pre-loading Trulicity ad.)
Is anyone else finding this an issue? Is there a way to control this in Settings (I’ve looked but can’t find it, although it could be staring me n the face). Any help would be appreciated. And for those who might ask, I’m on a 12.9in 2020 iPad Pro.
