iPhone does not play videos - what to do?

• Restart: Turn your iPhone off and on again. The restart eliminates temporary errors in the system, which in many cases does little miracles.
• Format: If you downloaded the video to your iPhone yourself, it should be in MP4 format. If this is not the case, you can convert the video to MP4 format with the Freemake Video Converter.
• Player: If an illegible format arrives on your iPhone, you may be able to play it on the device with the free video player Infuse.
• Safari: If the video is not played in Safari, it may be due to an outdated website. If the video is in Flash format, the iPhone can unfortunately not play it. For this you need a special browser such as the Puffin Web Browser or the Skyfire Browser.

• Camera: If you recorded the video yourself with your iPhone but cannot play it, transfer the video to your computer. If you can access the video here, the problem is with the iPhone.
• Recovery: If you don't get the problem under control, all that's left is to restore it via iTunes. You can then restore the previously created backup.
