SoMuchTV December 15, 2021 Share December 15, 2021 (edited) It doesn't seem like it has always been like this, but recently I've noticed that a lot of videos seem to auto-play when I'm scrolling on my iPhone. An example of a page where this is happening a lot (go up to the top of the page and start scrolling down for examples): At first I thought maybe I was touching the "play" button as I scrolled, but it seems to be happening as I just scroll - maybe if I touch anywhere on the video display as I scroll. I'm definitely seeing it happen with Youtube; maybe other videos as well. Surely this can't be on purpose, can it? It's not so much the playing itself, but the volume. When I read through the forum, I don't want the audio to suddenly come on! I've double-checked my account settings and I don't see any way to control this. On my PC (no touch screen), I'm not having this issue. If it is on purpose (not a bug), please consider this a suggestion to stop that behavior or at least make it an option in my account settings. Thanks! I should add, this is using Firefox on an iPhone SE. (Firefox is the only browser that works on the site for me, so I couldn't see if others behaved the same way.)

Meredith Quill December 22, 2021 Share December 22, 2021 Apologies for the delay, the notification on this got lost in a myriad of others it seems. This is possibly due to a maintenance release that's outstanding currently but I'll put a ticket in with the devs to double check just in case. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124865-bug-resolved-videos-auto-playing-on-mobile-device/#findComment-7189971

SoMuchTV January 20, 2022 Author Share January 20, 2022 I haven’t noticed this as much lately. I went back to the example I posted and nothing auto played. Not sure if that means it’s fixed or I just got better at scrolling. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124865-bug-resolved-videos-auto-playing-on-mobile-device/#findComment-7243089
