The docs claim the default value to be false. This PR would change the current behavior.

Boolean that determines whether HTML5 audio and video requires the user to tap them before they start playing. The default value is true.

Where is the real documentation ?

I'm basing this purely on what your PR submitted (e.g. you did not mention the above in your original post).

I suggest verifying what the actual default behavior is, and updating the docs to reflect that (as opposed to switching the default behavior to match the docs).

Ok i understand what you mean but on IOS component, the documentation is:

/**
     * Boolean that determines whether HTML5 audio and video requires the user
     * to tap them before they start playing. The default value is `true`.
     */
    mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction: PropTypes.bool,

My PR want just be coherent with website documentation and with the IOS component behavior.
