How to Save Data While Autoplay of FaceBook Shorts is Enabled?
When you consume video in the highest picture quality a lot of data is consumed. It may not matter if your device is connected to WiFi. However, setting the Facebook shorts to always autoplay also permits the use of Mobile Data to stream the videos(technically in the absence of WiFi). If you only have mobile data, then it won’t take much time for Facebook videos to wipe off your limited cellular data. If you want to conserve the data and still be able to enjoy the autoplay of Facebook shorts, then make changes to the following settings on your Facebook account. Selecting the option Optimized will adjust the video quality depending on the status of the network on your device. If the network is stable, the video will stream in the best possible quality. If the network is stuttering, then the Facebook Shorts will autoplay in lower resolution. The second option Data Saver as the name suggests will use 40 percent lesser data while reducing the picture quality. Your streaming should not be affected as long as the device is connected to the network and there is no disruption.
