– Reviews News
Presented as a “microblogging” service when it was launched, Twitter has come a long way and has become a social media application. Although the apps iPhone et Android are stable, they present some problems. One such problem is that Twitter videos are not playing. If you have encountered a similar problem, this article is for you.
Videos, memes, and GIFs are an integral part of conversations on Twitter these days. So obviously you don't want to miss any of them. So, read this guide to fix the problem quickly. But before we get into the methods, let us first understand the reasons for this.
Why aren't the videos showing on Twitter?
Well, the Twitter app has bugs from time to time, and we've all seen multiple instances of Twitter facing global downtime. So it's no surprise that things like videos and GIFs won't load. Also, many Twitter videos are restricted to a few regions, so you might not be able to watch them all.
However, sometimes issues occur due to some settings and configurations that you may have enabled in the app. So, let's take a look at all of this and solve the problem of Twitter videos not playing.
How to Fix Twitter Videos Not Playing on iOS Devices & Android
Here are methods to fix Twitter videos not playing on iPhone et Android. Let's start by reviewing some toggles present in the Twitter app.
1. Enable Autoplay
Enabling video autoplay on Twitter plays the video as it appears when you scroll through your feed. If videos are not playing, it may be because autoplay is disabled in Twitter settings. Here's how to check and enable it.
Step 1: Tap the profile picture icon.
Step 2: Select "Settings & Support" and tap "Settings & Privacy" from the drop-down menu.
Step 3: Select 'Accessibility, display and languages'.
Step 4: Select “Display and sound”.
5nd step : Select Video Autoplay and enable autoplay by selecting the corresponding option, whether you want to play videos automatically on cellular and Wi-Fi or only on Wi-Fi.
If that doesn't fix the problem, let us check if you have Twitter data saver enabled.
2. Disable data saver
Data saver option helps you save some data on Twitter but at the same time this feature is responsible for videos and images not loading in the app. This is how you can disable this feature.
Step 1: In Twitter settings, select "Accessibility, display & languages" and tap on Data usage.
Step 2: Disable the toggle for data saver.
You can then check if you have disabled media previews in Twitter settings, as this may prevent Twitter videos from playing on mobile phones.
3. Enable Media Previews
When you turn off media preview on Twitter, you cannot see a visual preview of the image or video. Instead, you'll see a link to it.
Obviously a preview and visual indication of a photo or video is helpful, firstly it's easy to see, and secondly you can conclude that there is a problem in the app if there isn't. There is no indication of a video issue in the Tweet.
Step 1: In Twitter settings, tap "Accessibility, display & sound".
Step 2: Select "Display and sound" and enable the switch for media previews.
4. Check if the video is restricted by region
As mentioned above, not all videos on Twitter are available for viewing by users in all countries. Therefore, you will not be able to watch these restricted videos. However, Twitter will display a message that this video is not available in your region.
However, if you still want to watch the video, you can consider using a VPN on your device.
5. Check your device's network settings
First, check your Wi-Fi signal strength and speed. If you are using a slow network, that might be the reason why Twitter videos are not playing on your device. However, if you use mobile data, make sure you have an active data plan.
Also check if you have disabled mobile data access for Twitter. If you have it disabled, Twitter won't be able to connect to the internet via mobile data and you won't be able to access it. We have summarized the steps for iPhone et Android below.
Enable Cellular Data for Twitter on iPhone
Step 1: Open the Settings app.
Step 2: Open Cellular and scroll down to find Twitter. Be sure to switch to Twitter.
Enable mobile data for Twitter on Android
Step 1: Long press the Twitter app icon and select information.
Step 2: Scroll down to find "Restrict data usage".
Step 3: Make sure both boxes are selected. This means that Twitter can access the Internet via Wi-Fi and mobile data without restrictions.
If that doesn't fix the problem, you can try clearing the cache and junk data of the Twitter app. However, this is only possible if you have a device Android.
6. Clear cache on Android
Like any other application, Twitter also accumulates cache and temporary data. This is mainly done so that you can quickly load certain items from local storage, instead of downloading them every time you open the app. However, lots of cache means lots of junk, and clearing it is one way to update the app and its stuff.
This is how you can clear the cache of the Twitter app on your device Android.
Step 1: Long press the app icon and tap the info button.
Step 2: Tap Clear data.
Step 3: Now tap on Clear cache.
That's all you need to do to clear the cache of the Twitter app. As mentioned above, users ofiPhone lack this feature. However, you can take a look at the following two methods which are just as effective as clearing the cache of the Twitter app.
