It is amazing how well iOS supports these accessibility features but doesn't consider blocking video autoplay on websites, something that is incredibly distracting for people with ADHD.

You can just turn on low power mode and it stops autoplay videos.

  Thanks for the tip. Does turning on the low power mode dim the screen as well?

    Yes it does but it isn't perceptible IMO. https://support.apple.com/en-us/101604 https://support.apple.com/en-us/101604

There is a specific accessibility setting to reduce motion and prevent videos from autoplaying on iOS. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and turn on "Reduce Motion"

  Yeah this is super useful. Also audio doesn’t autoplay on any websites. You have to interact with the page first for that to happen

Hmm… I definitely have that blocked, but not sure the source of it. Probably it’s an extension.

Since when? Safari used to be the only ones who forced user interaction prior to autoplay. You sure you didn't manually activated a feature flag or have an extension installed?
