Here’s how you can turn off auto play videos on Facebook

You must have often seen that whenever we scroll through the news feed on Facebook, the video coming in between gets automatically played. This auto-play video feature is not exactly suitable for the users, as it consumes more mobile data, consumes more battery, and auto-plays unwanted videos. If you want, you can also turn off this feature.
