Are you interested in enabling autoplay on your iPad? Autoplay is a useful feature that allows you to continuously play videos or music hands-free, without needing to press the play button. Read on for a quick and dirty explanation of how to use autoplay on your iPad.
Enabling Autoplay for All Media and Devices

iPads do not have a setting that allows you to enable autoplay for all media and apps. However, you can usually enable autoplay in the specific app settings.
For example, on YouTube, tap your profile picture, click on Settings, and find Autoplay. Then, enable it, so videos keep playing without interruption.
On Spotify, navigate to Settings > Playback > Autoplay. Enable it by toggling it on. This will ensure that music continues playing.
On Netflix, go to My Profile at the bottom-right, tap the menu icon, click on Manage Profiles, select your profile, scroll down, and toggle on Autoplay Next Episode. This will ensure that episodes continue playing after each other.
If you are unsure of how to enable autoplay in the app you are using, and you can’t find it in the app settings, contact the app developer or look at their help documentation on their website, if available.
Enabling Autoplay for Videos in Safari
Unfortunately, Safari does not offer autoplay on iOS. That means that you will have to manually interact with the page to get new YouTube videos, for example, to continue playing. There is not much you can do about it, so consider using the mobile app version of whatever you are using instead. For example, instead of using YouTube in Safari, use the YouTube app.
Troubleshooting Autoplay Issues on iPad
If autoplay is not working, make sure you have enabled autoplay in the app’s settings. Another reason autoplay may not work is if your internet connection is unstable or turned off. Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi or have a mobile data connection.
Conclusion: Using Autoplay for Convenience and Efficiency
I hope this guide helped! Autoplay allows you to enjoy music and videos hands-free, without interacting with the screen. However, there is no universal setting for autoplay, so you will need to enable it individually for each app.
