In this video I show you how to get videos to stop automatically playing in the background while you’re browsing the YouTube app. #YouTube #Autoplay #SaveData

Do you ever find yourself scrolling through your YouTube feed, only to have a video start playing automatically? If so, you’re not alone. Autoplay is a convenient feature, but it can also be a drain on your data and your phone’s hardware.

Here are a few reasons why you should turn off autoplay on YouTube:

To save data: When you have autoplay turned on, YouTube will start playing videos as soon as you scroll past them. This can quickly eat up your data, especially if you’re on a limited data plan. According to YouTube, a single hour of HD video can use up to 1 GB of data.

To improve performance: Autoplay can also put a strain on your phone’s hardware. When a video starts playing automatically, your phone has to use more resources to decode and play the video. This can lead to slower performance and even battery drain.

To avoid distractions: If you’re trying to focus on something else, autoplay can be a major distraction. When a video starts playing automatically, it can be hard to resist the temptation to watch it. This can lead to you wasting time and getting less done.

If you’re concerned about your data usage, your phone’s performance, or your ability to focus, you should turn off autoplay on YouTube. Here’s how to do it:

Open the YouTube app.
– Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner.
– Tap on Settings.
– Tap on Playback.
– Under Playback in feeds, select Off.

Once you’ve turned off autoplay, you’ll need to manually start playing videos that you want to watch. This may seem like an inconvenience at first, but it will save you data, improve your phone’s performance, and help you stay focused.

Here are some additional tips for saving data and improving performance on YouTube:

Watch videos in lower resolutions: If you’re on a limited data plan, you can save data by watching videos in lower resolutions. To do this, open the video you want to watch and tap on the Settings icon (three dots) in the top right corner. Then, select a lower resolution from the Quality menu.

Download videos for offline viewing: If you know you’re going to be somewhere without Wi-Fi, you can download videos for offline viewing. This will save you data and allow you to watch videos even when you’re not connected to the internet. To download a video, open it and tap on the Download icon (arrow pointing down).

Use a data-saving browser: There are a number of browsers that are designed to save data. These browsers use compression techniques to reduce the size of web pages and videos. This can save you a significant amount of data, especially if you’re watching a lot of videos.
By following these tips, you can save data, improve performance, and avoid distractions while browsing on YouTube.
