Thanks for the fast reply.

This poses a problem for our app. We are creating a video streaming hybrid app where users scroll through many videos which autoplay when scrolled into view. 

It is poor user experience if the user has to manually click play on each video, especially since it wouldn't be explicitly clear that the reason videos do not autoplay is due to 'low power mode'.

I can see the argument for this being intended 'default' behaviour but there should be some way of changing it since it breaks the experience of certain apps.
