My iPhone 4S is not playing videos in safari how do I get it to work?

I used to never have problems with my iPhone until recently I try to watch videos in safari and I get the crossed out play button I've tryed turning on Wi-Fi turning it off personal hotspot restarting my phone I just don't know how to get it working please help

If its YouTube get the youtube app that's free. If its any other video it may mean you have to use another browser ( google chrome is availible for iOS) if not then you have to use a computer. - sorry for grammar mistakes I'm on my iPod.

  • Why are YouTube videos not loading or playing on my IPhone 5? This problem has been persisting for a few days now - basically, every time I attempt to play a YouTube video, whether it is through the app or the actual URL on Safari, the screen stays black and never loads on app, and the loading wheel continually spins on the video. Is there a solution to this issue?
