What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
at a device with one or more processors; non-transitory memory, a display, and one or more input devices:
prior to presenting media content associated with a website, determining one or more presentation settings for presenting the media content based on a function of previous local user interaction data indicative of local user presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website and aggregate user interaction data indicative of aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website; and
displaying, on the display, the website and presenting the media content based on the determination of the one or more presentation settings, wherein:
a respective one of the one or more presentation settings corresponds to a media auto-play setting for media content; and
the aggregate user interaction data includes data indicating how frequently users started playing content or paused auto-playing content on the website within a predetermined amount of time of loading the website.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting the media content based on the determination of the one or more presentation settings includes:
in accordance with a determination that the media content is auto-playing media content and that the function of the previous local user interaction data indicative of the local user presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website and the aggregate user interaction data indicative of the aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website indicates a preference for allowing auto-play of the media content, auto-playing the media content; and
in accordance with a determination that the media content is auto-playing media content and that the function of the previous local user interaction data indicative of the local user presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website and the aggregate user interaction data indicative of the aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website indicates a preference for preventing auto-play of the media content, forgoing auto-playing the media content.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting the media content based on the determination of the one or more presentation settings includes:
in accordance with a determination that the media content is not marked by the website as auto-playing media content and that the function of the previous local user interaction data indicative of the local user presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website and the aggregate user interaction data indicative of the aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website indicates a preference for playing the media content, auto-playing the media content; and
in accordance with a determination that the media content is not marked by the website as auto-playing media content and that the function of the previous local user interaction data indicative of the local user presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website and the aggregate user interaction data indicative of the aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website indicates a preference for not playing the media content, forgoing auto-playing the media content.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the previous local user interaction data indicative of the local user presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website overrides the aggregate user interaction data indicative of the aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the aggregate user interaction data indicative of the aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website overrides one or more default presentation settings for the one or more presentation settings.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aggregate user interaction data for the website includes one or more positive signals related to the one or more presentation settings for presenting the media content from other users.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aggregate user interaction data for the website includes one or more negative signals related to the one or more presentation settings for presenting the media content from other users.

8. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
one or more input devices;
one or more processors;
non-transitory memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the non-transitory memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
prior to presenting media content associated with a website, determining one or more presentation settings for presenting the media content based on a function of previous local user interaction data indicative of local user presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website and aggregate user interaction data indicative of aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website; and
displaying, on the display, the website and presenting the media content based on the determination of the one or more presentation settings, wherein:
a respective one of the one or more presentation settings corresponds to a media auto-play setting for media content; and
the aggregate user interaction data includes data indicating how frequently users started playing content or paused auto-playing content on the website within a predetermined amount of time of loading the website.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein presenting the media content based on the determination of the one or more presentation settings includes:
in accordance with a determination that the media content is auto-playing media content and that the function of the previous local user interaction data indicative of the local user presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website and the aggregate user interaction data indicative of the aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website indicates a preference for allowing auto-play of the media content, auto-playing the media content; and
in accordance with a determination that the media content is auto-playing media content and that the function of the previous local user interaction data indicative of the local user presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website and the aggregate user interaction data indicative of the aggregate presentation preferences for the one or more presentation settings for the website indicates a preference for preventing auto-play of the media content, forgoing auto-playing the media content.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein presenting the media content based on the determination of the one or more presentation settings includes:
