8. 8
   Tap on the chosen option in the "Video Auto-play" prompt

   .

   The options are "On", "WiFi only" or "Off". Facebook had a trial period where every video played automatically, but they have now added an option to change it. The reason we have "On" as well as "WiFi only", is because it can take a lot of data if we're watching videos without WiFi. This may end up costing us more money. If we choose "WiFi only", we can be sure that we're not using too much of our data plan, and we won't get charged extra. We're going to choose that option. It will then say "WiFi only" under "Videos play automatically".
