Facebook has decided to implement auto-playing video ads; heres how to disable them As if I needed one more thing to hate about Facebook. Now theyve decided that auto-playing video ads are cool. Heres how to stop them (when you can). Desktop * Either load the following settings page directly: https://facebook/settings?tab=videos * Or open the main Facebook website, click on the down arrow in the upper right corner of the screen, select settings from the context menu that opens up, and then on the settings page videos listed on the left sidebar there. * The Auto-Play Videos setting is turned on by default. To turn it off, click on on and switch it to off. Android There is no way to completely disable Facebooks video ads on mobile. However, you can disable them when youre not on Wi-Fi: * Open Facebook, open the left sidebar, and tap App Settings. * Check the Auto-Play Videos on Wi-FI Only box. iOS * Go to the iOS Settings app from the home screen, and open up Facebooks settings. * Tap the Settings option and under Video, switch the Auto-Play on Wi-Fi Only option on.
