iOS 11 brought, without Apple announcing it, a major change for the video player we use constantly on iPhone and iPad to watch videos. In the image below you can see the new interface of the video player in iOS 11 for iPhone and iPad, Apple replacing some buttons and implementing support for many other functions.
To begin with, Apple changed in iOS 11 the way the control options are when we watch a video clip, the volume slider now also has a mute function. iOS 11 offers us in the video player the option to see it on the whole screen, or its sequence from the web page we opened, on the iPad there is the Picture in Picture option.
Next, for video clips iOS 11 allows us to see subtitles including for video clips, and this is a very important change. Finally, the video player in iOS 11 also has support for external keyboards, so we can control it with one for iPhone or iPad, something impossible until now.
