How do I get rid of default video player on iPhone?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To get rid of the default video player on your iPhone, you can follow the steps below:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone. You can find the Settings app icon on your home screen.

2. In the Settings app, scroll down and select “Accessibility” from the list. Accessibility settings allow you to customize various features on your iPhone to meet your specific needs.

3. In the Accessibility settings, scroll down and select “Motion.” This section controls the motion-related features on your iPhone.

4. On the Motion screen, you will find an option called “Auto-Play Video Previews.” This feature allows videos to automatically play when you browse through your photo library or other apps.

5. To disable video previews from playing automatically, simply tap on the toggle switch next to “Auto-Play Video Previews” to set it to the off position. When the switch turns gray, it means the feature is disabled.

By following these steps, you have successfully disabled the default video player from automatically playing video previews on your iPhone.

Now, when you browse through your photo library or other apps, the videos will no longer play automatically, giving you more control over when and how you want to watch them.

Disabling video previews can help conserve your data usage and battery life, as well as provide a more personalized browsing experience.

It’s worth noting that some apps may have their own settings for video autoplay, so you may need to adjust those settings within the specific app if you still encounter videos playing automatically after disabling the feature in the Accessibility settings.

I hope this guide has been helpful in getting rid of the default video player on your iPhone. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.
