Are you tired of X’s auto-advancing videos ruining your scrolling experience? You’re not alone! This annoying feature has been driving users crazy, but the good news is that you can finally disable it on both iOS and Android.
For months, only iOS users had the luxury of turning off this behavior, leaving Android users frustrated. But now, Android users can also breathe a sigh of relief as the “Auto-advance” setting is available to disable.
What’s the Problem with Auto-Advancing Videos?

- Distractions: Auto-advancing videos can be distracting, especially if you’re trying to focus on something else. You might find yourself mindlessly watching video after video without even realizing it.
- Data consumption: Auto-advancing videos can consume a lot of data, especially if you’re watching high-definition videos. This can be a problem if you have a limited data plan.
