Cloudflare streaming tag 'autoplay' not working on IOS

My autoplay option of Cloudflare Stream tag is working perfectly on Safari, Chrome and desktop browsers but is not working on IOS.

As you can see the video loads perfectly, but I have to press play to start.

Is there a way to start the video? Why this happens?

Videos on iOS will not start playing unless there is a user action on it.

If you want to autoplay a video in iOS, you have to play it as MUTED.

Also this workaround will not work --> autoplaying as muted, then unmute programatically as soon as the video starts.

One note though:   autoplay on iOS will not work at all if power saving mode is ON.
