When I try to watch videos, the video gets blocked because „sandbox is not allowed“ apparently because of ads. I’m talking about streaming sites. I tried safari and other browsers, they are blocked on all. Nothing is working:/ Anyway to fix this?

I’m guessing you have an ad blocker and it needs the permissions to be granted again.

Then so far I’m only seeing downgrading to 16.3.1 as a solution. Or maybe a backup and restore. It’s definitely not normal behavior.

Same here, it's annoying and it happens in many browsers

By many do you mean ALL browsers that you have tried, or most except some? (And what is that some? ;))

Been like this from iOS 16.4 beta 1 through official. Cannot find a fix. Searched the web but it seems few people use beta so nobody was talking about it. My suggestion would be subscribe to Netflix or stop watching p***n on your phone and use your laptop ;)

There used to be a bug far back on iOS i-forgot-which where videos were all audio no video and the fix was to adjust the experimental features in Safari settings. I tried tweaking them a bit but no dice. You can try, but I don’t think it will work for this one.

"Sandbox" is usually a term used for a software testing environment. Maybe this update was not quite ready for release.

You’re statement about the usage of the term “Sandbox” is simply not factual. This is a security mechanism utilized by Operating systems, apps, and especially modern browsers.

And this is what I was talking about. Since we don't know the OP's problem either one could be valid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_(software_development)
