iPad playing video after closing tab/website/browser

Why does the audio keep playing even after the website as well as the browser is closed. It stops sometimes but if you re open the browser (in my case google chrome) after some time it suddenly starts playing from where I left. It’s sometimes very embarrassing when you open to search something between a meeting and a music starts playing. How can I solve this problem?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Hello parag228,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities! We understand that you're wanting to prevent videos from playing automatically after exiting a website or browser on your iPad.


When you open Control Center on your iPad after exiting a video, does it show the video paused/playing in the audio card section in Control Center? If so, does it still appear after you quit the Safari app?

We'd also like to have you test if the behavior still occurs with Auto-Play Video Previews turned off following the steps here:

Take care.
