How to turn off Netflix Autoplay Previews on desktop and mobile
If you enjoy watching movies and TV shows instead of playing games in your spare time, you probably know something about Netflix. Although Netflix is a premium video streaming service, users do not hesitate to subscribe to it.
If you are a regular Netflix user, you may know that the web version automatically plays the preview of videos while you hover over the video thumbnail. The same is true for the Netflix mobile app when you hover over videos.
The feature is useful because it helps you decide whether you should play the video without opening it. However, the feature itself can be annoying and problematic for those who are trying to save internet data. If you are someone who streams Netflix via mobile data, you may want to disable autoplay previews to save some internet data.
