"X (formerly Twitter) seems to be dominated by videos when you open the app or access the site - and if the news of the day happens to be something violent or disturbing, it can be easy to stumble across content that you don't want to see automatically playing. The safest way to avoid disturbing social media content is to avoid the apps altogether,"
"but if you do want to access X on a day when unpleasant news is trending, there's a setting you can tweak that will at least stop videos from autoplaying in your feed. How to stop videos autoplaying on X What You NeedX on desktop or smartphone It's worth noting that while you can stop autoplaying videos, this won't remove videos from X altogether -"
X displays many videos automatically, which can surface violent or disturbing clips when unpleasant news is trending. Avoiding social apps entirely is the most certain way to prevent exposure. A setting in X can be changed to stop videos from autoplaying in the feed, reducing the chance of unexpectedly seeing upsetting video content. Stopping autoplay does not remove videos from X entirely. Disturbing images can still appear while browsing. Resources are available for reporting harmful content and for people who need support after seeing violent or disturbing material online.
