iOS File input for videos, video compressing terminates when screen not active anymore

I have a web app with a file upload input for large videos (30+ minutes). In iOS, when user selects a video, the OS will first compress it, an action that happens before the onClick of the file input is being called.

As this process can take a while for large videos, users tend to switch to other apps meanwhile, but it seems that when a user is leaving the compression screen, the action is being canceled, without even notifying the user.

The behaviour is the same on both iOS chrome and safari.

Is there a way to make the action proceed when the browser is not active anymore?
