1. Open News settings in Google News (check the steps in the first section).

2. Scroll down and tap Autoplay videos.

3. Select the radio button beside Wi-Fi only or Disabled.

1. Open a news story in Google News.

    I use Google News every day and I really like how the news feed is personalized just for me. But there's this one tiny issue that bothers me. Sometimes when I'm reading an article and there's a video I want to watch, I start playing the video and then tilt my phone. It's so annoying because it causes the page to refresh, and I have to scroll all the way down to find the video again. This even happens when I'm watching the video in full screen and tilt my phone. Google, please fix this!

    This app is so awesome and really helps me stay informed and learn new things about not just my own country, but all over the world. The only hiccup I'm experiencing is with the widget - it's acting up by not showing any information and failing to update regularly.

    Oh, this new app is so frustrating compared to the old news and weather app, right? It's like they made it all big and space-consuming. And all those pictures are a bit much, I just want the headlines like before, you know? And then it gets even more annoying - sometimes I'm trying to read something and suddenly it moves off the screen by itself! And don't get me started on how it just refreshes on its own. I mean, you're about to click on something interesting to read and poof, it refreshes and everything's gone! Why do they have to make it all fancy with cute animations? We just want to easily catch up on the news, not deal with all these unnecessary features.

    I used to really like this news app, but now it's just so annoying. Whenever I go back from reading an article, the whole thing refreshes and all the stories change. Sometimes it even refreshes while I'm just scrolling through. Come on, Google, please sort this out! It's gotten so bad that I've had to start using Microsoft's Start app for news because dealing with the constant refreshing on the Google app is just too much.
