I can play music through my Sonos via Airplay just fine as long as I’m using Apple Music or SoundCloud. But if I want to play something off my iPhone like a video from my photos app or a video from tik tok nothing comes out of the Sonos. I’m using Sonos One and Play:1 speakers.

Sonos speakers just are airplay audio receivers. If you want to play video content via airplay you need an AppleTV device as an receiver.
Apples ios in many cases (e. g. photos app) doesn’t support splitting video and audio to send the audio via airplay. In the past imo there were a few apps on ios that can do so. At the moment with Amazon prime it works for me.
As suggested, it is up to the app on the Apple device as to whether or not it sends an AirPlay 2 signal. Not all applications do. There isn’t much Sonos can do about that, unfortunately.
