- To disable autoplay for a specific website, open the website in Safari -> Go to Safari menu -> Select “Settings for This Website” -> Set “Auto-Play” to “Stop Media with Sound” or “Never Auto-Play”.
On iPhone/iPad (iOS)
- Go to Settings app -> Scroll down and tap on “Safari” -> Tap on “Auto-Play” -> Select “Never Auto-Play” to disable autoplay completely.

Some key points:
- Disabling video autoplay in Safari prevents videos from automatically playing without user interaction. This saves mobile data usage and prevents unwanted video playback.
- Safari allows customizing autoplay settings per website, so you can choose which sites can autoplay videos.
- For full control, set autoplay to “Never Auto-Play” in Safari’s general preferences/settings.
