Disable AutoPlay on Apple TV+ ?

There still does not seem to be an option to disable Auto Play on Apple TV+ and it is SO frustrating. Every other streaming platform has this. Why does Apple refuse?? I like to watch television before falling asleep, so when the series auto-plays for 4-5 episodes and then I have to navigate back the next day, it is super inconvenient, not to mention defeats the purpose of their "Up Next" feature, which in and of itself needs work.


For the sake of asking a question and not just complaining...Has anyone found a way to disable auto play??

Go to Settings- Accessibility- Motion- and turn 'off' the 'Auto-play Video Previews' option and see if that fixes it for you. I had it turned 'off' and couldn't figure out why mine wouldn't Auto-Play...that seemed to fix my TV episodes in my Apple Library...it may work for Apple TV+ also.


Just saw you are using a 'firestick'...maybe this will help someone else in the Apple devices
