By default, the Crunchyroll mobile app will automatically play the next video in a series. To see how you can turn off this feature for the anime streaming application, you can take a look at this step-by-step tutorial here at Overly Technical.
What is the autoplay feature in the Crunchyroll app?
With the autoplay feature enabled, which is the default setting for the Crunchyroll app, the next video on the playlist will immediately start to play once the current video ends. This is helpful if you are binge watching an anime season.
If you are only watching one episode at a time, however, then having this feature can be a little inconvenient.
How to turn off autoplay in the Crunchyroll mobile app
If you want to disable the autoplay feature in the Crunchyroll mobile application, then you can take the following steps:
