How To Fix Stop Videos Autoplaying In Facebook App iPhone

Turning Off Facebook Video Autoplay on iPhone

If you're tired of videos automatically playing as you scroll through your Facebook feed on your iPhone, you can easily disable this feature to save data and enhance your browsing experience.

Steps to Disable Video Autoplay

1. Launch the Facebook App

   • Open the Facebook app on your iPhone.

2. Access the Menu

   • Tap the "Menu" icon, usually located at the bottom right corner of the screen.

3. Navigate to Settings

• Scroll down to the bottom of the Menu screen and tap to expand "Settings and Privacy."
• Then, tap "Settings" in this menu.

4. Find Media Preferences

   • Scroll down to the Preferences section and tap "Media."

5. Disable Autoplay

   • On the Photos and Videos screen, find the Autoplay section.
   • Tap to select the radio button next to "Never Autoplay Videos." This will ensure that videos no longer play automatically as you scroll through your Facebook feed.

Additional Tips for a Seamless Experience

• Disable Auto Scroll for Reels
  If you're also experiencing issues with Facebook reels automatically transitioning to the next video before the current one finishes, you can disable this feature as well. Go to Settings > Media, and turn off "Auto Scroll" and ensure "Start Videos with Sound" is also off.

• Clear Cache and Reinstall (If Necessary)
  If you're experiencing persistent issues with video autoplay not turning off despite following the above steps, you might want to try clearing the Facebook app cache or reinstalling the app. This can sometimes resolve bugs and glitches that may be preventing the autoplay settings from working correctly.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Autoplay Settings Not Working
  If you've turned off autoplay but still find videos playing automatically, it might be due to a bug or glitch. Ensure that your Facebook app is updated to the latest version. If the issue persists, try clearing the app cache or reinstalling the app.

• Next Video Prompt
  Some users report seeing a "Next video" prompt at the end of a video, even with autoplay turned off. To avoid this, you can press the "X" button at the bottom of the screen to stop the transition to the next video. However, this can be annoying, and you might need to wait for Facebook to fix this issue in future updates.

By following these steps and tips, you can effectively stop videos from autoplaying in the Facebook app on your iPhone, enhancing your overall browsing experience.
