How to turn off auto playvideo

[Tosh67]

Very pleased with phone but when I 1st set up I selected autoplay videos when going through the gallery, it slows down browsing a tad and plays vids when I'm not ready. How do you stop them from auto playing.

Thanks

Hi I have the same problem.

I found the setting to switch the video autoplay in the gallery off but it still wont stop to autoplay the videos and it mutes the videos when it starts. I even restarted my S9 but nothing works. 

I am so frustrated with this. Please help me

Thank you

 I must say the settings for this phone are not very direct at all but I did find where to shut off video auto play. Open up a video on your phone. Any video and let it start playing. You will see the vertical 3 dots up in the right hand corner of the videos screen. Click on it and select settings in the drop down menu. It will take you to the video player settings where you can switch off autoplay. Let me know if this helps.

You have to open up a video and let it start playing. The click the vertical 3 dots in the top right hand corner of the video screen and select settings in the drop down menu.

i have an S9plus....and this worked for me....... go to facebook then click on the 3 lines top RHS go to settings and privacy then down to.....settings,........scroll down to .......media and contacts. near the bottom is Auto play.... choose never auto play videos.

Hope this helps

I still can't seem to resolve this, even after trying everything, it must autoplay regardless,

Thanks anyway

No it really isnt autoplay regardless..... i have edited my first post as it wasnt clear you had to be on FB.... so hopefully this will work for you Tosh67
