Suddenly, my videos are not autoplaying in Safari on iphone. I am not seeing any error messages. Is this a "feature" of Safari on iphone now? Do I need to require users to click play to view background videos? All works fine on Safari on mac desktop, and on Firefox and Chrome on iphone.
This code has always worked on Safari/iphone in the past, so I'm confused why it's not working now.
I've also viewed the other posts about this problem but haven't seen a solution that fixes my issue.

The problem was the video itself. I created it as a clip of a larger video using a free online tool. Whatever that tool was, it did something to the video that Safari on iphone and only Safari on iphone did not like.
