CNET - Related stories Facebook testing videos that autoplay in mobile News Feed Facebook reportedly tables release of new News Feed Would you 'like' a Facebook 'sympathize' button? Yesterday's update to Facebook's iOS app included a new feature to automatically play native videos while scrolling through your News Feed. Facebook has been testing autoplay for a few months, so its inclusion comes as no big surprise. Videos autoplay with the sound off, but you may not want them to autoplay at all, especially if you're on a cellular network. Streaming videos are a surefire way to eat through your data plan in a hurry. Though you can't disable autoplay completely, you can prevent it from working when you're not on a Wi-Fi network. On iOS devices, go to Settings > Facebook > Settings. Under the Video section, turn on "Auto-play on WiFi only." (Credit: Screenshot by Ed Rhee/CNET)
