Recently, a lot of Instagram users posted on Twitter express about their frustration with the new auto sound issue on stories.
Even when the phone is in silent mode, the stories continue to play with the sound.
As a team, we will understand the app’s present situation and develop a solution.
Why Are Instagram Stories Playing With Sound?
Whether this is a new feature or just a glitch is still not understood. Instagram hasn’t yet responded to the problem.
NewsWeek claims that this is merely a technical issue. “Some iOS users are experiencing an issue where sound is automatically on when viewing Stories due to a bug,” stated Meta. Our goal is to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
How to Mute Sound On Instagram Stories
Currently, the Android app does not have this issue; the problem only shows it on the iOS app.
In general, you slide the switch on the left side of your iPhone to silence Instagram stories. But for now, this is no longer effective. The stories continue to be visual and audio.
Here are a few possible solutions for you to try:
Method 1: To mute the sound, press and hold the Volume-Down button on the right side of your iPhone. Alternatively, access the control center by swiping down from the top-right corner of your screen, then dragging the volume slider to the lowest position.
Method 2: Close the application and open it again.
Method 3: See whether Instagram has an update available in the App Store. With the updated applications, this issue could be resolved.
Method 4: Access Instagram using a computer or mobile browser.
In the unlikely case when none of the previously mentioned solutions resolve the issue, you will have to wait for an official Instagram issue patch to repair it.
People’s Reaction On Twitter
One user tweeted: “Why are Instagram stories automatically playing sound? Please no. I want to watch videos in silence.”
Another wrote: “Why are Instagram stories all automatically sound on this morning with no option to mute, are you trying to get me fired Instagram.”
Another tweet reads: “Keep muting @instagram but the sound automatically keeps playing?? Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it, please?”
