Why does my iPhone 7 plus keeps pausing while I'm watching online videos?

Hi

Turn your router off for 20 /30 seconds when it's back on go to settings on iPhone down to reset Reset network settings After reset enter your router wireless key.

Later go to website for your make of router check for firmware update.

Hello Ramrey,

I am also a Iphone user and this is question a good question. This very simple to fix. You just need to find a solution for your network/internet speed. I suggest to sit near the router or contact your ISP to get a better connection.

this is due to buffer and thanks contacting apple community.

I'm having the exact same problem. I never had a problem on my iPhone 6 but as soon as I upgraded to a 7 plus it started happening. This is definitely a bug they need to fix on the next update it has nothing to do with internet connectivity because it happens on every single internet I get connected to and it happens when I'm using 4G too which is super fast and shouldn't give me any issues.

Newest update didn't fix anything still having the same problem, video fully buffered but video pauses I can spam play and it will continue to instantly pause only in safari. I'm being forced to use other browsers on the AppStore. This is annoying I didn't buy another thousand dollar phone to not be able to watch videos, do something apple.

I truly miss my iphone 6Plus. The 7Plus really does suck!!! Tired of not being able to watch videos and a hockey game on the NHL app. Never ever had these issues with the 6Plus. THIS IS SO IRRITATING SO APPLE .. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! I'm telling everyone I know not to get this phone and stick with the 6.

Very Frustrating Indeed.... we have been having the videos buffering issues on Youtube and am observing this on all my apple products. This can certainly not be a connectivity issue since am having 1000 mbps fiber connection, and even with WiFi I can see the speeds up to 300 to 350 mbps... So request the dev to look into this and provide us with the update at the earliest

Hi I’m having the exact same problem, I used to make WiFi calls on my 6 through what’s app, now it just loses connection, so any video buffers sometimes on 3G 4g or WiFi, I have a 100 mbps WiFi, and I thought it was the handset, so I’ve had that replaced, but unfortunately I have the same isssues with the new 7. I’m on the verge of just cancelling and getting a 6, has anyone come up with some solutions ?

Sooo, this is it on this PROBLEM? No solution? Seriously? This problem is driving me nuts! Guess I’ll CALL (argh!) Apple and complain. This problem is ridiculous and frustrating as ****. Thanks for letting me vent. 😤

It usually is a connectivity issue: your Internet connection is incapable of keeping the phone fed with enough data to keep the video rolling. On high-resolution devices like these the problem can get worse cause it needs more data to keep the gorgeous display filled.

What to do? First off, try and get a bigger pipe to the Internet. Use a suitably fast Wi-Fi connection instead of the cellular link (unless of course you can opt for a blazing fast 4G carrier that outdoes the Wi-Fi). Use a speed checker such as Ookla's Speed Test to measure what your different link options deliver for real.

If that doesn't help or you have no suitable connectivity option, can try to watch lower resolution videos that the link you have can handle.

This is the exact problem I am having. I don’t see a resolution. I have an iPhone 7 and just converted to apple. Very sad and missing my android. Ready to revert back. Any solution found?

I’m on the iPhone 7 and the same thing happens to me (DEFFINITLY NOT A NETWORK ERROR) even in youtube a video will pause every 10 or so sec. very frustrating :(

Same issue. Brand new iPhone7, fast internet and a bar that shows plenty of buffered video data.

I’m having the same problem , any resolutions ? It is 100% an Apple iPhone issue. Started when I did the last upgrade.

Exactly same problem regardless connection speed, it is iphone 8 ios 11.3
