Audio doesn't work on iOS

Hi everyone.
Chrome on iPhone doesn't start music automatically, i need to stop and start again. Is possible?

@alessandropisu, just as Safari did a while back, you now need user interaction on the page before playing sounds on Chrome. It's not actually an issue with react-howler.

My solution:

I've implemented a small welcome message with an "OK" button to force that initial interaction.
