Autoplay Is Coming To YouTube On Android, Here’s How To Turn It Off

Android: Google is rolling out a new version of YouTube for Android that adds a familiar, annoying feature: it will now autoplay the next related video when the current one is finished. Here’s how to turn it off.

Despite the feature not being terribly popular (at least as far as our readers are concerned), Google is carrying over the autoplay feature from the desktop. When enabled, YouTube will automatically play the top Related Video from Google’s suggestions.

Fortunately, Google has made disabling this feature on Android a little more obvious. The toggle should appear directly below the Subscribe button for whatever channel you’re watching at the time. It should stay disabled forever after you turn it off, but as some users have reported with the desktop version, it doesn’t always stick.
