Q - " I upgraded to the latest IOS yesterday yo Monterey 12.6 and now videos do not play properly almost as if they are buffering.
A - Maybe a Typo but iOS is for iDevices and Apple Computers use macOS.
A - Buffering - usually is caused by Internet Connection Speeds and or Third Party Application interfering with the Connection.
A - Any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaners, Disk Optimizes , VPNs invoked on this computer ?
1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
4 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.
5 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.
