autoplaying videos arw eating all my mobile phone data.

As the title said it. My data consumption from Jerboa went front less than 1GB a month to 2 in December and 5 in January. The only thing I can think that changed here were the videos now being in auto-play.

There's any way to stop it?

Thanks.

Edit: I just found that there's a option to disable auto-play. Didn't saw it before because I was looking up for true for autoplay instead of a false.

Hamburger menu > settings > look and feel > disable auto play.

Sweet, that must be a newer feature. A while ago I looked for that but couldn't find it.

Are you getting it for free?

How are you not? If yours is unlimited you're still paying for it, and probably a lot more than I pay for my 2GB/mo.

Hi, turns out I made a post about data not too long ago if you'd like to see what people consume/pay and chime in. Or not.
