If you've got a Facebook account which you use frequently, you've probably realized how often changes are made to the app. One new change to be on the look out for are videos, which are about to get a whole lot louder. Due to the upcoming update, videos will start playing sound automatically as you scroll through your feed.

Previously, you could only hear video sound if you tapped on the video in your Facebook News Feed, but now, as long as your device is not on silent mode, expect to hear the sound of videos fade in and out as you scroll through your feed. While this may not bother everyone, there may be instances where you need to keep the volume down. Read on to discover how to disable it.

1. On iOS Device

On iPhone and iPad devices, start by opening the Facebook app and log in, then:

1. Tap the three-lined hamburger button in the bottom right corner of the screen.
2.Tap Settings > Account Settings > Sounds
3.Tap the toggle to off for 'Videos in News Feed Start with Sound'

If you don't see the option, the update hasn't occurred for you yet, so be sure to check back later.

2. On Android Device

Start by opening the Facebook app and log in, then:

1. Tap the three-lined hamburger button in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. Scroll down and tap “App Settings”
3. Tap the toggle to off for “Videos in News Feed Start With Sound”

If you don’t see the option, the update hasn’t rolled out to you yet.
