Disabling YouTube’s “Auto” video quality entirely depends on whether you are using a mobile device or a desktop computer. YouTube does not offer a native global setting to lock in a specific numerical resolution (like 1080p) across all videos, but you can force preferences using built-in mobile menu settings or desktop browser extensions. 📱 How to Disable Auto Quality on Mobile (Android & iOS)
The YouTube Mobile App allows you to set a permanent preference for either maximum quality or data savings. Global Account Preferences Open the YouTube app.
Tap your profile icon in the bottom-right or top-right corner. Select the Settings gear icon. Tap on Video quality preferences.
Adjust both On mobile networks and On Wi-Fi settings from “Auto” to Higher picture quality.
