Many updates have been made on facebook lately and many of them seem not to favour us. Imaging in a situation where you had just little Mb to check on you facebook timeline just to realise that facebook video has eating up your last Mb.
Aside from changing the look of the Facebook user interface with the recent update, which hasn’t been that warmly welcomed by users, there is yet another Facebook feature that can be quite annoying: video auto-play.
Not only do you not always want to see what people are showing, but this also uses up more of the data (if your plan isn’t unlimited) and battery of your Android. Here is how to disable this feature on Android and PC.
For you to do this, just follow the below steps.
- Wipe to the furthest tab on the Facebook app for Android and tap on App Settings.
- Right there under the General Settings, tap on ‘Video Auto-Play’ and set it to Off.
Of course, Facebook has it defaulted to On, but not anymore!
For Facebook On Pour PC
When you log in to the Facebook website on your personal computer, you can switch this feature off completely, though it won’t affect the settings on your phone. Sadly, the features on the website do not often coincide with the ones on Android, which we discovered with the privacy and security settings for Facebook.
- Just go to settings
- Then videos and from the drop down menu
- Select off.
