Embedded videos no longer pause instantly after updating to iOS 27.0.1

I just updated my iPhone to iOS 27.0.1 and now embedded videos don’t pause properly. Instead of pausing instantly, embedded videos now pause after a delay in which the audio slowly quiets. This is happening both in Safari and in other apps.


This has removed precision from pausing videos, forced me to rewind to hear things I wouldn’t have missed otherwise, and is just plain annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It’s infuriating, thanks for confirming I’m not going insane! Surely the one function of the pause button is to pause the video when it gets pressed, rather than try and fade out the video over half a second for no reason…
