It's bad enough that we have to deal with autoplaying video advertisements all over the Web, so why do we have to be subjected to autoplaying videos on Twitter, too? Autoplay video are muted by default, but that doesn't make them any less annoying, especially if you have a small data plan on your phone.
Luckily, you can disable videos from automatically playing on Twitter, and you can do it for Android, iOS, and your computer's web browser. So take back control and play videos on your own terms!
How to Stop Autoplay on Android
Open up the Twitter app, enter the Settings, then choose General.
Select "Video autoplay" and make sure to select "Never play videos automatically." (Choose "Use Wi-Fi only" if you're only worried about data usage.)
How to Stop Autoplay on iPad, iPhone, & iPod Touch
In the iOS version of Twitter, find your page and select the cog/gear icon to access the Settings.

How to Stop Autoplay on Your Computer
