The popular social media platform Instagram has become very popular with the Stories feature it took from Snapchat. However, the platform has been on the agenda with a sound issue lately. Many Instagram users have faced the issue of audio not turning off in the app’s Stories. Now, the company seems to have fixed this problem with the latest update.
With the update, the sound problem disappeared
Instagram has been attracting attention with the sound problem in Stories lately. Some users are complaining that the sound replays every time they view a new Story, even though they’ve muted Stories. The problem especially occurred on iOS devices.
The app was muting Stories when your iPhone was in silent mode. But recently it started playing audio for all Stories regardless of iPhone setting. However, many Instagram users preferred Twitter to react.
For now, it has not been possible to completely turn off the audio feature of Stories on Instagram. Solutions such as uninstalling and reinstalling the app, logging out and restarting the phone only temporarily fix the problem. This showed that there was a decrease in the viewing of Stories, especially by iPhone users.
After all these problems, Instagram updated its iOS app. With the update, when you open a story while your iPhone is in silent mode, the story is muted. The only thing that remained unclear in this case was whether it was a bug or a feature. You can download the latest version of Instagram for iOS from the App Store.
Instagram Reels plays sound by default. According to some people, the company may have implemented this issue to make Reels and Stories more consistent. The difference between the two features is that Reels is a video. Users want to hear the sound while watching the video.
