HLS is played natively in iOS. the HTMLMediaElement does not provide any way to change quality of an HLS stream in Safari. Safari handles all adaptive bitrate quality switching automatically.

I am facing same issue. Is there any way to get this working in safari. Except safari its working fine in other browsers.

Add safarihlsjs: true to your config to have hls.js handle HLS playback in Safari Desktop and iPad. That allows for quality switching but is less efficient and stable than allowing Safari to handle HLS playback natively. This setting does nothing on iPhone because MSE is not available on iPhone and thus not supported by hls.js.
