The Autoplay feature provides users a preview of the show or movie while they are still browsing. What's more, it also automatically plays the next episode after finishing one, as per an online story by Android Authority.
Both of these Autoplay functionalities on Netflix as turns out are annoying for some users. On the other hand, some might want these features, but for some reason it's turned off on their account, making it seem that it is unavailable.
Thankfully, according to a report by LifeWire, the Netflix Autoplay feature could be manually turned off, stopping the automatic previews and autoplay of the next episodes, which some consider annoying.
