How to stop autoplaying videos in YouTube Home tab in iPhone

By default, YouTube app for iPhone and iPad automatically plays videos in the Home feed as you scroll through it. The video at the top starts playing on mute with captions auto-enabled. But this is an optional feature that can be disabled at will to save data and battery life.

Here’s how to adjust auto playing videos in YouTube’s Home tab:

This setting is opt-out rather than opt-in.

By default, the audio is muted and the videos play automatically over Wi-Fi only.

Follow the below steps below:

Open the YouTube app on your iOS device

• Tap on your profile image in the top-right corner
• Choose Settings from the list
• Tap on the option labeled Autoplay on Home
• Decide how AutoPlay on Home should work
• Now close the YouTube settings screen to apply the changes

Keep in mind that Autoplay on Home is separate from YouTube’s global Autoplay setting that automatically starts playing suggested videos after the current clip finishes.
