I really want a single global setting on my phone for “never autoplay anything ever, no matter what the app settings might have been set to, god damn it”
@mattblaze I'll settle for setting the default alert sound to silence.
@mattblaze Also, a "don't loop video ever" setting. If I want to watch the video again, I'll press play again.
@mgrinder Or show me the "next video" automatically, for that matter.
@mattblaze On Android, disable autoplay per app in settings. Global switch is overdue.
@mattblaze I feel the „god damn it“ is an important part of the specification.
@mattblaze poor mans solution: mute button
@mattblaze While we’re at it, may I also request this feature for my car? No matter who drove it last and what they were listening to, I require that the sound system is SILENT until I EXPLICITLY tell it to start playing music/radio/podcast… 😅
Non consensual autoplay should be a crime. Attentional assault.
Yes, I know there may be some architectural reasons that this might be difficult. Do it anyway. Take a few engineers off your “shove AI in places where nobody wants it” team to figure it out.
Whoever gets there first gets my business.
@mattblaze I cannot think of a single reason why you'd ever want this to happen as an end user (as opposed to a social media platform that wants to keep bombarding us). A bonus version would be "don't ever auto play unless there are Bluetooth headphones connected"
@mattblaze I don’t know if you’re on an iPhone, but this is the setting I have enabled under Accessibility -> Motion.
I’m sure Android must have an equivalent.
Unsure how global this setting is and if all apps honor it.
@mattblaze Figures… Well it was worth a shot!

@mattblaze shouldn't even be a question
