How to Enable/Disable Autoplay on Netflix
The autoplay feature on Netflix automatically plays the episode that is next in the line. This happens the very next moment the prior episode of the show ends. This feature is quite handy and is aimed at providing a seamless service and enhancing the user experience. However, there might come a time when you might feel the need to disable this feature.

For turning off the auto-playing shows and episodes on Netflix, follow these steps. As long as the same account of Netflix is being used by you, it will work with any device may it be any device from android, Apple, Amazon, Windows, or others. Remember that this differs from the trailers and the previews of shows and movies that play while you scroll through Netflix.

A web browser is required if you intend to disable the auto-playing feature on Netflix:

·         Search https://netflix.com from a web browser and the device of your choice.
·         Complete the Login process.
·         In the Netflix account’s menu option, find and select the Manage profiles option.
·         To disable the auto-playing feature of Netflix of all the devices in which Netflix has been logged in from that account, uncheck the Auto play option.   
·         Then click on Save to complete the process.

Once you have successfully disabled this autoplay feature of Netflix, it will automatically be updated on all the devices on which the Netflix account would be logged in by this account. It might take some time to reflect on this change on other devices. This is a great way to induce a change in the account as you don’t have to go from one device to the other device, making the same changes over and over again.

If we go by the Netflix’s suggestions, switching to some other profile and then again switching back to yours can actually speed this process up. Rebooting or merely switching the device Off and On also sometimes has a similar effect.

Once you have disabled the autoplay feature on your Netflix account and for some reason, you miss the automatic playing of the next the episode, enabling it back, is quite easy too. The steps to do so are quite similar to the ones we followed for disabling this feature:

·         Search https://netflix.com from a web browser and the device of your choice.
·         Complete the Login process.
·         In the Netflix account’s menu option, find and select the Manage profiles option.
·         To enable the auto-playing feature of Netflix of all the devices in which Netflix has been logged in from that account, “Check” the Auto play option.   
·         Then click on Save to complete the process

You will have to wait till the changes are reflected on other devices too.

If you happened to store any of the shows on the Netflix on either your iPad or on your iPhone, then this setting will carry over to them too. The only thing to consider here is that when the changes were made, the device your Netflix account was logged in was online.
