Some persons asked how they can stop video from auto-playing on their iphones. this post from Alex Angove of whistle out will solve your problem:

Facebook’s auto-play ‘feature’ for videos getting you down? Other than the fact that it can be pretty annoying to be confronted with videos you didn’t choose to watch, downloading multiple short films per day can be a bad idea if you have a limited data cap.
It’s pretty easy to disable in settings and go back to a world where you choose whether or not to download and view a vid in your news feed.

iPhone and iPad

Go to your general iOS Settings and scroll down until you see Facebook.

Tap it hit Settings. Scroll down to Auto Play and then choose between On, WiFi-Only and Off.

If data usage is your only concern then WiFi-Only is a good choice. Otherwise, just turn them off and be done with it.


Android

Open up the Facebook app and select the Menu button in the top right.

Scroll down and find App Settings under "Help & Settings".

Tap Video Auto-play and choose between On, Wi-Fi Onlyand Off

You're done. Go forth and enjoy your newly-reclaimed power to decide when and if you will watch a video on your Facebook feed.
