Here’s the annoying part, but I’ll be honest with you. You can’t change this setting on your TV. Or your Xbox. Or your phone. It’s a web-only thing. I know. It’s dumb. Blame Netflix, not me.
Netflix: How to turn off the autoplay feature
But don’t worry. Once you change it on the computer, it applies to every device under that profile. Your phone, your tablet, your smart toaster—all of them will finally shut up when the credits roll.
A quick pro tip for the road
If you share an account with a roommate or a sibling, this change only affects your profile. So your partner can still have their chaotic, binge-watching madness. You get your peaceful, contemplative ending. It’s a win-win.
And if you ever miss the autoplay? Trust me, you won’t. But if you do, just go back to the settings and check those boxes again. It’s like taking back a bad ex—but with more cookies.
