Why Does Samsung TV Plus Play Automatically
You may have noticed that your Samsung TV Plus feature starts automatically once you turn on the TV and begins to play random videos.
This is caused by a feature on Samsung TV that causes the last app to start when you start your TV automatically.
The function is known as Auto-run last app or Auto-switching last app.
You must turn off this feature if you don’t want TV Plus to play automatically.
