Disable auto-play for videos: Facebook BETA app

[thron]

Much like this option: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/how-to-disable-autoplay-videos-on-facebook-82823336266.html

I was unable to find any such setting in the Facebook Beta app on Windows phone. Missing feature?

It's actually a "feature" of your profile settings... I found the feature from hell in the website... Click droplist arrow (upper right) > settings > videos.

It doesn't seem to be a setting that is available in the apps...

Version 8.3.0.5 under settings, there is no "videos". Under advanced settings is cache & push status.. Am I in the right area?

No, you have to actually be on the Facebook website from your Desktop or change to Desktop view from IE on your phone and follow the steps again.

I changed it on my desktop already, but when I'm using the Beta app on my phone the videos still load.

Not having that issue here so I'm not sure then.

This is cause the app don't have it. Just the website.

:asleep: this should be a necessity for the app, considering most of us don't have unlimited data plans!
