Why won't videos play since iOS 10 update without rebooting device daily

Ever since upgrading to iOS 10 (and again the next day to 10.0.2) I have to reboot my device daily (or more often) to be able to play videos. This affects videos launched in Facebook and YouTube as well. The video place holder appears as does the first frame of the video, but they will not play. Even thouh they play arrow and pause buttons seem to work, the video will not play. This only started on my 5s with the update(s) into iOS 10.

iPhone 5s, iOS 10.0.2

I thought I was missing my alarm, glad to know it's not me! I can't playback videos on my iPad either. I shot a short clip myself yesterday and can't even play that back. I emailed the clip to my husband who has a Microsoft phone and he could play it, no problems.

My iPhone 7 is not having any problems (touch wood), but it is very frustrating. On my iPad, I can view some YouTube videos, but can't figure out the difference between the ones I can and can't play. I can't play any video clip through Facebook.

Serves me right for not waiting to update. I hoped that 10.2 would fix, but it's still the same.

Too many glitches lately, it's not like these pieces of kit are cheap!

DId you ever resolve the issues you were having?
