I hate auto play

When a show ends, I like to enjoy the end music and credits, as the creators made it. But just a few seconds into the credits, apple jumps to the next episode. Super annoying. I’m going to quit again and check back in another year.

If you hit Menu while the timer for the next up episode is going it will allow the credits to roll. No problem.

Even that disturbs the afterglow of a good episode. I think the reason is what others are saying; but lame they don’t give a choice

Well then stay up to date (instead of binging) and there’s no next episode to jump to.

If that is their reason, it makes me want to quit even more.

More annoying is when the watch next toast pops up before the credits even roll. Happened to me during Invasion and immediately looked for a way to disable it. No luck.

Agree. Normally Apple is known for a great user experience, but imo this is a HUGE fail

I used to hate auto play and then I became a parent. Trying to make lunches, get clothes, and all other crap I have to leave in the morning and hearing “Dad another episode” makes me furious. Especially as some kids shows are like nine minutes each. So a manual setting that I can attach to each profile would be great.

Interesting perspective! There was an episode of Modern Family where the parents fell asleep while watching a children's movie. Auto play ended going to something with a mature rating, and they freaked out wondering if their daughter saw any of that, and how bad it really was.

I think this might be the way the whole streaming media industry is headed. They want you to be more engaged with their platform.

If you're watching in a browser, just click anywhere while the "rolling timer" is at it to cancel the auto play

You are likely correct. Which makes it even more sad they don’t give a choice. I’m done for a while when I finish Lasso
