Only iOS displays Youtube 360 videos in equirectangular format in any browser instead of narrower and interactive

Question

I've uploaded an equirectangular 2:1 (360º) video to Youtube.

It displays good a narrow image but INTERACTIVE within these devices/browsers I've checked:

Ubuntu + Firefox & Chrome

MacOS Monterey + Safari & Chrome

Android + Chrome

But iOS 17.4.1 + Safari & Opera & Chrome displays all the complete equirectangular video (so, non interactive).

Is there a way to solve that?

Thank you

iPhone 5s, iOS 11

Answer 1

I've performed some more tests getting non interactive displays:

iOS 17.4.1 + Safari & Opera & Chrome displays all the complete equirectangular video (so, non interactive). iPhone 11 Pro Max

Same as iOS 15.8.1 in an iPad mini 4 in Safari

Testing with an iOS 7 Plus - iOS 15.8.2 it does display a narrower image than the equirectangular but it is not interactive

That sounds like a great question for YouTube support.
