Got the same issue after update. This happened to me for the second time. First time was after 15.0 update but I was able to turn off "GPU Process: Media" thing and it helped. Looks like they removed this option after 15.4 update just like rohit-almelkar said here. But why lol?


I tried everything. Clearing cache and cookies from Safari, hard phone reset and privacy mode enabled but nothing can solve this problem I guess. I even tried other web browser but the video player can't be different than Safari one. Maybe restoring iPhone could help but I won't sacrifice my data for this


Looks like we have to wait for the fix. Till this time we can't play any video from Safari which is hilarious. Fix your OS Apple!

@Apple has completely failed to deliver its promises. They aren’t providing assistance to the older models, as and when required (although these models are still within its official support periods).


If this keeps continuing, then whom are we supposed to complain and get our issues resolved?


Our only hope is #ElonMusk, I wish he buys #Apple soon and orders to fix every bug 🐞 on this iOS.

Sorry, but not sorry #TimCook
