Disable Auto-Play
When someone sends you a video or a message effect, they will usually automatically play when you enter the message. If you want to improve your battery life, you might want to consider turning auto-play off, so you decide when to play them instead. Here’s how:
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to Accessibility.
- Tap on Motion.
- Toggle Auto-Play Message Effects and Auto-Play Video Previews off.
