Disable auto play in safari?

Hi, how does one totally disable auto play in safari for iOS 15? I’ve gone to accessibility/motion and that’s been turned off for a while, yet any time I come across an embedded YouTube video in safari, any other music/sounds stop and the video starts to play. I feel like this has become an issue recently? Thanks for looking into this.

Greetings temproj,


We understand that when viewing webpages with a video on them from your iPhone, the video plays automatically and therefore pauses any audio you have playing from other apps. 


Since you’ve noticed this is a change on your device, let’s take some troubleshooting and isolating steps to start nailing down the situation. 


If you quit the app and relaunch does the situation continue? Restarting your device is also a great step for unexpected behavior. 


Are the videos ads or are they content accompanying the website you’re on? 


Thanks.
