Configuring Media Autoplay on Samsung Internet
With autoplay, you don’t have to play the next song on streaming sound; it will automatically start the next.
However, this feature is misused by advertisement agencies to play video ads which often leads to embarrassment. Hence, it’s recommended to disable autoplay if you aren’t using it. Here are the steps to manage media autoplay:
- Launch the Samsung Internet app on your phone.
- Tap on More for the menu options list.
- Select the Settings menu.
- Scroll to the Advanced section, and tap the Useful Features menu.
- Switch the toggle button for the Allow autoplay videos option.
Based on the switch status, the media autoplay is allowed or disabled.
If you disable the toggle switch, the browser will automatically stop all the autoplay triggers that an advertisement company has set. Unless you manually hit the Play button, the media isn’t going to play.

Samsung Internet has a unique feature known as Video Assistant that helps watch videos and enhances the controls.
You can read through the video assistant page to know the controls. You need to enable the toggle button for the Video assistant to work for you.
Configuring Sound Access to Samsung Internet
Samsung Internet doesn’t have any built-in functionality to block sound access. However, you can do it under the smartphone’s Settings menu.
Here are the steps to allow or block Sound permissions to the browser:
