Disable facebook auto video play on browser and Facebook mobile app

After a recent Facebook application update on my Android, I have noticed that the video plays automatically and thankfully the sound is off by default. This is really annoying for me as I have slow connection and this just make my browsing slower. To get rid of this annoyance, follow these steps


On your Desktop/Laptop browser

1.  From the top right of Facebook, click and select Settings
2.  Click Videos in the left menu (https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=videos)
3. Click the dropdown menu next to Auto-play Videos and select Off 

For your Android mobile device

1. Open facebook application
2. Tap
3. Scroll down and tap App Settings
4. Tap Video Auto-play
5. Choose off

For your iOS devices (iPhone or iPad)

1. Open the Facebook app
2. Tap  
3. Scroll down and tap Settings
4.  Tap Videos > Autoplay
5. Choose off

If you cannot find these setting on your mobile device, you probably need to update your Facebook application.
