Hi I'm a newbie of webrtc

I'm confused that the webrtc's supporting coverage.
I tested webrtc features on  webrtc.github.io/test-pages/
However I found that none of browsers in iOS does not work at all
I checked all other browsers and OSs works using BrowserStack.
This website (http://iswebrtcreadyyet.com/) shows that ios browser does not support webrtc.
I have searched many other articles about this issue already, but I am still confused that iOS would support webrtc because I think I can do video call in iOS using google meet, which seems to be using webrtc tech.

Please help me if you can give me any advice or information.
Thanks in advance for any feedbacks

Sincerely,
Jiseong Heo

By edict of Apple, iOS browsers have to use the Safari HTML engine, which means that only JS functions available in Safari are available on iOS.

Apple's Safari browser supports some WebRTC functionality; I don't know the status of their iOS browsers.

WebRTC in iOS Safari browser is supported in version 15.1 onwards.

It also works on MacOS - Safari.
