How to turn off Facebook Video Auto-Play on their Mobile Android App


Recommended Posts

I just saw a post on Facebook and this one checked out. It appears (I did a search and found it mentioned on the front page back in december) that Facebook in their mobile app is auto playing videos on your feed.

For those on iOS, you need to go through Settings rather than Facebook's own app. I didn't even realise you could disable it, I hate that feature anyway.

That doesn't work for me.  I am not signed into facebook in IOS.   I use only the facebook application.   This setting I cannot find in the actual app.
