Hey Guys

My PWA video playback and even youtube videos stopped working after updating iOS to 26.0.1.

The video thumnails appear fine and if i try to play the video, it remains stuck.

If i restart the phone, the video plays for a second in the PWA and then stops again and entire app gets stuck.

Request apple team to fix this issue at the earliest. This is hampering all my iOS users who install the PWA on their device homescreen and use it as app.

FYI strangely EVERYTHING WORKS FINE ON iOS SAFARI browser including videos playback If i open it as a web app.

so this seems like a specific PWA issue on latest ios 26.0.1

I'm encountering the same bug. I suspect it's related to the state of the AudioContext. From what I've observed, when first entering the page, the state of AudioContext is suspended, and calling resume() within a click event fails to restore it. If I first call suspend() followed by resume() in the developer tools console, the following error message appears. So far, I haven't found a workaround—please share one if you have it.

error message:

InvalidStateError: Failed to start the audio device

Same here for all audio tags!
