Take your Ipad, open Music play a track then go to: https://www.20min.ch/fr/video/france-fusillade-explosion-lev... The video will automatically play (with sound) and the Music will stop. (It won't play on Safari desktop though)

On Reddit as you need your finger to scroll and a lot of videos are in the way it's almost impossible to scroll without touching one-> the music will stop.

Here it doesn’t autoplay, not even muted. You need to tap on it first.

I’m not saying sound management doesn’t suck on iOS. It does. But the scenario you describe is forbidden by Safari and Chrome on mobile and desktop. Unless I’m misunderstanding something.

Ok yes the video will not play on it's own if you point to the link directly. However this is a news site, and if you click on the main page that link to that article then the video will autoplay. This is a way hundreds of website are using to bypass the no autoplay rules.
