Your iPhone’s Camera app gives you the ability to create many types of media. These types include videos, pictures, and picture variations such as Live Photo.
The pictures and videos that you create can be viewed in the iPhone’s Photos app, which contains several tabs that let you adjust how those files are sorted. One of these tabs is called “Photos” and, depending on your device’s settings, may cause your live photos and videos to start playing automatically as you view them.
This guide is going to show you how to get videos to stop autoplaying when you view them in the Photos tab of the Photos app on your iPhone 11. This will also stop live photos from playing as well.
