If you’ve found your way here then you must really want to turn off YouTube Autoplay Videos. Thankfully, there is a way to turn it off and we will be teaching how to do just that in this guide.
YouTube Autoplay Videos allows the next video on the line to play immediately the video you’re currently watching is over. With this feature turned on, you don’t have to keep handling your phone to click on the next video to play. YouTube does that for as long the Autoplay Videos feature is turned on.
However, the next video in line isn’t always necessarily the next video we would like to watch and would like to click on a new separate video or search for a new video. Personally, I’ve always like the YouTube Autoplay videos until i fell asleep while watching a YouTube video, then i found out the hard way that the YouTube Autoplay feature isn’t in my best interest.
The next video in line played, and the one after that, and the one after that. It went on like that till i woke up few hours later only to find a YouTube video still playing. By now, it has already taken a huge chunk out of my data bundle. This prompted me to dive straight to the settings Menu of the YouTube app looking for a way to disable it. Thankfully, i found it.
If you’re aren’t on an unlimited data plan or perhaps connected to a WiFi network then you might want to turn off YouTube Autoplay videos before your data plan pays the ultimate price just like mind did. Without further ado, lets get right down to the point.

Conclusion
Left to me, the YouTube AutoPlay Videos Feature will be turned off as I’m not an unlimited data or have access to a WiFi network.
