Although it is an option that has been available for quite some time, not everyone knows that autoplay of videos in the Facebook app can be disabled to conserve our data rates and, incidentally, the battery of our iPhone.
You may have ever tried to disable the automatic playback of videos in the Facebook application for iOS but after digging a bit in the menu of the app itself, you have given up when you did not find any option that offers this possibility. This is because we have to access the Facebook settings from the Settings application included in iOS.
Basically, the process for disable autoplay is summarized in the following steps:
- Open iOS Settings app
- Search for Facebook and click on its label to enter its own configuration menu
- Now the application icon will appear and just below the word «Settings» on which we have to press
- In the new menu that has appeared, we focus on the video section and activate the switch labeled «Automatic playback so ...» (Automatic playback only on Wi-Fi). If the menu of our iPhone or iPad is in English, the option will be called "Auto-play on WIFI only".
With this simple measure, the videos that appear on the latest news board will only be played automatically when we are connected to a Wi-Fi network.
As we have already discussed, this will help the battery of our iPhone lasts longer And incidentally, we will also save consumption in our data rate and is that most of the time, those annoying videos that are reproduced only do not interest us the least.

It has been a great help
It does not work. This afternoon a video was playing automatically with 3g
Check that you have the latest Facebook update installed and that you have activated the switch properly because it works without problems.
excuse me actualidadiphone, winocm has published an interesting tweet where he says that the iOS 7.1 jailbreak will be called woof
I do not understand how it does not allow the ellipsis to be read, or is it that I do not know how to do it
You cannot, the width of the text does not fit on the current iPhone screen and that is why there are ellipses.
It also does not work for me from the iphone, on the pc it has let me activate it.
Thank you!
