Camera roll videos don’t play, unless I restart phone. Then they work for an hour or so and it happens again Non of the videos will play in my camera roll. The solutions I’ve found so far are send them by text or WhatsApp and I can see them there or restart phone, then it works for an hour or two. I use my phone to do social media for my work so it’s becoming a real problem. mine is the iPhone 12 Pro Max, uptodate iOS etc. iIce tried looking it up but I just get info on watching videos in TikTok or Facebook etc when this is just ones on my phone. I can literally just take a video, and not be able to play it.

Begin by updating your iPad to the current version - at time of writing, this being iPadOS 16.5.
