How to disable Video Autoscroll on X (formerly Twitter)

Oyinebiladou Omemu -

Watching a video in full screen on X and having it loop and then automatically scroll to the next video is a very frustrating experience.

You may just want to have full control of the videos you see and play to save data or just be in charge, and this feature (or a long overdue bug as some people call it) keeps preventing you from doing that.

The good thing is that you can now disable the video Autoscroll and autoplay on X for a better video-watching experience. While the option to disable the AutoScroll feature is available on the mobile application, it is not yet out for Android users, just iOS users.

If you use an iOS device, you can easily toggle off the X Autoscroll feature with this guide.

How to disable Video Autoscroll and Autoplay on X

  1. Play any video on X.
  2. Tap the gear icon.
  1. The Auto-advance is enabled by default. Tap on it to disable it.
  1. Once you tap on it, that should disable it.

Conclusion

Disabling the AutoScroll and autoplay features on X can significantly improve your video-watching experience, giving you more control over what you see and play.

This is especially beneficial for managing data usage and avoiding unwanted video loops. While Android users will need to wait for this option, iOS users can easily toggle off the AutoScroll feature with this guide.
