If you use Netflix, you may have already noticed that the service automatically plays (autoplay) a small glimpse of the series or movies in the navigation menu, but if you don’t like this, it is now possible to deactivate it and here we tell you how to do it.

The first thing you should know is that there are two types of autoplay or automatic playback. The first is the automatic playback of chapters. When you finish watching a chapter, to save you time, Netflix gives you between 5 and 10 seconds to automatically play the next chapter, this to save you the annoyance of looking for control because we know that after several hours in front of the television, perhaps the control already is immersed in the sofa.
