Does the bsky Android app always proactively download videos on the feed even if you have Autoplay disabled? I'm traveling/roaming and bsky has used a couple hundred megs of data, I don't have good baseline data to compare to tho.
If so, a "don't auto load on cellular" option/default might be good

@samuel.fm
it doesn't initiate the player until you tap, if autoplay is disabled

David BuchananI'm scrolling on desktop, with autoplay disabled, and I'm seeing the first TS segment for each video getting preloaded
2 3Samuelon web it’ll do that yes, different behaviour
1 1 6James MunnsI realized what it was: on *desktop* I have Autoplay disabled, but that's not synced on the *app*, so I was getting autoplayed videos.
Turned that off.
Still, since Autoplay is default on, it would probably be good to be careful on cell data.

David Buchananalso I hope that session_id isn't sensitive lmao
1James MunnsThanks! Android doesn't let me get a usage graph per-app, so it was hard to tell if bsky specifically had used more data than normal.
I have an okay roaming plan so it wasn't a huge deal for me, but just something I was thinking of.
Thanks for the confirmation!
