Mobile safari doesn't support autoplay

I have a video embedded in hype and selected Inline and Muted tower the browser compatibility warning says autoplay is ignored in Mobile Safari 7.1.2 (iOS)

Perhaps Im under the wrong impression but I thought that if muted was selected, autoplay would work?

This might answer: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/safari_tools_and_features/delivering_video_content_for_safari

On Mobile Safari 7.1.2 this was the case - there was no way to inline video or get it to autoplay. iOS 8+ changed this. If you do not care about this older browser and want to adjust the warning, you can boost it in the Document Inspector’s “Show Browser Compatibility Warnings” section.

Ok that makes perfect sense. I was looking at it as a current browser.
