But on Mobile, Chrome doesn&#8217;t have an option to block auto-playing videos. As you know, Chrome extensions are not supported on Android and iOS, so there&#8217;s no chance of using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you can mute videos on Chrome for Android but doing that will mute videos on all websites. All-inclusive, there&#8217;s no way to block auto-playing videos on Android and iOS as of yet. I will update this section if Chrome adds the feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span>Final Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Autoplay videos on websites consume data and also affect internet speed.
