This is not the first time this has happened: many users have complained about a problem regarding the audio of the stories Of Instagram. Many people publish video and photo content every day, choosing from the thousands of tracks made available by the platform owned by Meta, but also simply posting the ambient sound or that of their own voice. Unfortunately, shortly after, nothing is heard anymore.
The influencer’s report
In the last few hours it has been Greta Dilaa creator and influencer very popular on both Instagram and Tik Tok, to report the matter. On the Chinese platform, he asked his followers if they were also aware of this problem in recent days. “But is it just my problem or does the audio of Ig stories do what it wants on your phone too? I swear I’m going crazy because I don’t understand the logic why sometimes you can hear it, other times you can’t“, wrote Dila while eating an ice cream and there is music in the background. Many have responded complaining about the same problem. “I thought it was my broken phone“, wrote Chia, who was echoed by other users who, using various methods, tried to exit and re-enter the app.
How to fix Instagram audio
Before telling the person next to you to go to hell or breaking your phone (this is not the case), there are some tricks and precautions that can be used to overcome the problem. As many have already done and reported in the influencer’s comments, you can simply go out and get back into Instagram. Sometimes this simple process can be helpful in getting audio back in stories. Another method is to delete the silent mode from your smartphone and turn the volume up to maximum. Some users have explained that this way they could hear the audio again. “If you have set it to silent you can’t hear it, if you have it on silent but you press the volume up button you can hear it. If you have the ringtone you can hear it right away”, another user clarifies.
In any case, there is one thing to remember: Instagram, like all other apps, has cyclical updates.
Every time the developers try to fix the problems of the previous version, that’s why it should and should always be updated both to eliminate bugs like these that prevent the correct functioning, and for security reasons since hackers are increasingly looking for small flaws in the systems to do great damage.
