2 Easy Steps to Disable Video Auto-Play on App Store

The latest Apple iOS 11 update accompanied a redesign of the App Store with interesting features. Now, users can find applications without much stress. There are also some promotional videos—found in Today/Games/Apps tab—which auto-plays itself, showing you what a particular game or app is all about.



This feature is useful because it gives insight to what the app/game looks like before you decide to install it or not. But for data-concious users who are on limited data subscription, you can minimize your data usage by disabling Auto-play videos on App Store. You have the options to set the App Store video auto-play only on WiFi network, and disable it on mobile network or even turn it off totally.

So I'm here with 2 easy steps to stop app previews in App Store from playing over mobile network.

How to Stop AutoPlay Videos in App Store on iPhone and iPad Running iOS 11

Like I earlier stated, you have different options either to enable it only on Wi-Fi, or to completely turn it off. Let's see the steps.
  1. Firstly, open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 11, then scroll down and tap on 'iTunes & App Store' option.
  2. Next, tap on Auto-Play Videos.

Here you'll see three options to choose from to set how app previews will work in the App Store on your iPhone or iPad. They are:
-> On: If you select this option, the app previews will play automatically on both WiFi and mobile networks.

-> WiFi Only: If set, this option will trigger app previews to play over WiFi network only.

-> Off: If you select this option, app previews will be completely disabled in the App Store on your iOS device.

Now, select either option two or three to minimize your data usage. Kindly share!
