Here's how to turn it off!</p> <p>Auto play video is a great way to boost engagement (and views!) but it can force disturbing and even offensive content on unsuspecting users and that's not okay. While auto-play should be opt-in you
can opt out, and Twitter makes it possible to turn it off on both the website and the iPhone and iPad app.</p> <h2>How to turn off auto-play video on Twitter for iPhone or iPad</h2> <p>Twitter on your iPhone or iPad is all social until a graphic video starts to play without any warning.
