Hi nasri97,


We understand you're unable to view videos. We're happy to help.


Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Experimental Features. In that list, check to see if you currently have the GPU Process: Media option enabled. If you do, turn it off.


After that, restart the device then test out your videos and they should play.


Restart your iPhone


Hope this helps. Cheers!
