According to a report, Roku OS 13.0 will add a new setting that will allow users to turn off auto-play on every app.

Last fall, Roku began rolling out its Roku OS 12.5 software update, which upgraded the Live TV Channel Guide, integrated Google Photos into Roku Photo Streams, and gave the Roku mobile app an overhaul. Then, in February, Roku made the Roku OS 13.0 beta available to developers and while we still don't know much about the update, a new report suggests that it will include a solution to an annoying problem that plagues all of us occasionally.

According to Cord Cutter News, several developers claim that one of the new features in Roku OS 13.0 will allow users to disable auto-play on every app with the press of a single button in the settings menu. Auto-play can be a blessing and a curse. If I'm binge-watching a series on a Saturday afternoon, I do not mind if the streaming service immediately loads up the next episode as soon as the last one ends.
