    It’s unfortunate but many of the submissions you upload just refuse to load on an iPhone. I think that maybe the video codec isn’t supported, which is crazy. Opening the links in a browser doesn’t change this either.

    Definitely an unexpected problem with switching to iOS from Android.

      What app are you using (if any)? I use Arctic and media loads without issue.

      My guess is that they’re uploading WMV or AVI videos. iOS doesn’t support hardware decoding for those, so you need to use an app that has software decoding built in, like VLC. Software decoding is much more CPU intensive, (and uses a lot more power,) and many apps simply don’t include it.

      Or if they’re images, then maybe they’re webp images? iOS support for those is tricky too.
