Safari video playback Hi, I am using an iPhone 13 with iOS 16.2. Although I love it, I find it really strange that I cannot select in what resolution I want to watch videos on internet browsers (tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox). My old OnePlus 6 makes videos look better because it does let me do this. Strangely enough, the iPhone seems stuck in 360p all the time. Even with perfectly fast WiFi. Why is there no option in the default video player to select video quality like you can in, for example, the YouTube app? Now there’s this fantastic expensive phone with a great display which gets beaten in video playback quality by cheap, 5 year old Androids… Is there any way to make safari play videos in higher quality? If not, when can we expect this option (which should have been there already for years)? FYI, I tested 1080p videos on multiple websites in the multiple browsers mentioned above. The iPhone never let me change the quality… every website I tried used the crappy default video player.

I’m new on the community but as far as I know there was support on iOS 15 and iOS 16 but on iOS 17 they remove it and now you need to install a plugin for that either on VLC or other media player that supports that.

Hope this helps
