Disney+ Logo

Just like Netflix, Disney+ makes it easy to binge-watch a show by automatically playing the next episode when the first ends. If you don't like this feature, you can turn Autoplay off alongside the app's ability to play background videos on the landing page and throughout the app.

Disable Autoplay on iPhone, iPad, and Android

At launch, the Disney+ app doesn't appear to display background videos  on the homepage automatically. As such, the only setting that you can disable is the Autoplay feature.

Start by opening the "Disney+" app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android and then tapping on the profile tab in the bottom right corner.

Disney+ App Tap Account Tab

From here, select the "Edit Profiles" button.

Disney+ App Tap Edit Profiles

Tap on the profile that you want autoplay videos disabled in. Unfortunately, this setting has to be disabled manually for each profile. There isn't an account-wide option for you to turn off.

Disney+ App Select a Profile

Toggle off "Autoplay" and then tap the "Save" button.

Disney+ App Toggle Autoplay and then Select the Save Button

With the setting disabled, you will now need to start the next video in a series manually. The Disney+ app will no longer automatically progress onto the next episode.
