A new bug comes to Instagram with the new update and causes the sound to activate even with the phone on silent . Complaints do not stop coming from users who want the sound to disappear in the stories and they can enjoy the service as before. Needless to say, this did not happen until very recently. It occurs after the new update of the famous app.
Instagram is one of the most used social platforms in the world as it allows its users to upload photos, short videos, stories and start live broadcasts. Precisely in the Instagram Stories is where these problems are occurring with the sound on the mobile using the app.
What is happening on Instagram?
Now, after this update, stories automatically play with audio , even if you don’t want it to and have silent mode enabled on your phone. Until then, the Stories were played with the sound off if you had the silent mode on your phone, but with the new version of Instagram this has changed. Worst of all, there is no way to silence them and more and more users are unhappy with the change.
In addition, a new bug arrives whereby the audio of the Stories forces its priority with respect to the audio of other apps, so that if you are listening to music , a podcast or similar, you will find that the sound of the Stories overlaps the sound of the Stories. of the musical content you want to listen to. The end result is unpleasant for users.
As if that were not enough, the sound continues to play even when you leave the application and go to another. The only thing you can do is force close the app so that the sound stops.
A Reddit user has commented in this regard that Instagram might want its Stories to be like Reels, and that should be the change, although it is most likely an error related to the new update that the app is unaware of and that they should fix. sooner.
Complaints keep coming
There are many users who are complaining about the new change in the sound of Instagram stories, and who cannot find a solution to the problem:
Why does Instagram turn on the sound of stories for me, even though my phone is on silent?
As of today, follow this problem:
Instagram let me see the stories without sound
We can find many such complaints on Twitter and other forums:
Instagram shows me by default all stories with sound.
This happens even if you have the mobile on silent :
Why the hell are all Instagram Stories heard with sound even when the phone is on silent? Oh my God.
Someone has even claimed that he had uploaded one thinking that it had no sound and, when he realized, it was activated:
I uploaded a story to Instagram according to me thinking that I had uploaded it without audio, an hour later I realize that it was uploaded with sound and then nothing, that you can hear me talking about my qlo.
Instagram has not commented
These are just some of the many complaints about it that have been going on for several days and continue to this day. The new update of the application is affecting the experience of using the app by many people and the outrage does not stop believing. It seems that, at least for now, there is no official statement about it.
We hope that very soon Instagram will decide and solve this problem, probably with a new update that fixes it.
