With autoplay off and background data disabled I get both autoplay at times, and background data usage 🤷♂️
annoying as heck!!So I get about 25MB of data usage on the app per day. It's steep but not too shocking. That's not even a GB per month. Thus no idea what the difference is between my iOS setup and what you people see.
Thats about my average a day to when using just the app.
Although I prefer reading these forums while on the computer because of the bigger screen and a real keyboard for typing1 -

On my home page, they constantly play, no off or pause, that I can find. The only thing I can do is mute them, so don't have constant audio as well.
Settings > Privacy Center >
Sharing & privacy settings > Auto-play settings
Not that it matters much, the ads still play automatically on my feed

I have now changed all my settings this morning, thanks. Although not sure when my settings changed before, or if It's changes on mfp end.
Will now wait and see, was hopeful, until I checked in to thank for settings info, and read your update.1 -

Thanks, have changed settings, will see if it makes a difference1 -
The other issue I should have mentioned is that I live in a semi-rural area in the UK. My ability to stream is hampered by the phone signal outside and even the strength of WiFi in the house. It takes longer than I want to load ads when they’re really not important to me, so paying for premium means I can input my food promptly rather than screaming at my phone in frustration. (Random middle aged woman screaming at phone in public is not a look I’m going for.)3

I've been seeing threads like this for years and consequently have not installed the app. I'm fine with desktop.4

There are far cheaper options than premium but since they are considered competition to premium we are prohibited from naming them.0
