Instagram claims it’s been trying to fix the problem for four days. Until they do, here’s a temporary workaround.
Instagram users are growing increasingly annoyed at a persistent bug that allows Instagram Stories to play sound even when their phone is on mute. The problem began appearing late last week, according to reports on social media, and at first many thought the seemingly unmutable IG Stories was a new “feature” of the app the company added to make it more akin to TikTok (something Instagram parent Meta is keen to do).
But last Friday, Meta told Newsweek the muting issue is a bug, not a feature, and is limited to iOS users:
“Due to a bug, some iOS users are experiencing an issue where sound is automatically on when viewing Stories–we’re working to fix the issue as soon as possible.”
As the bug was first reported last week, it appears that it’s not connected to Apple’s new iOS 16 operating system, released yesterday, and is indeed an issue with the Instagram app itself. On Monday, Meta confirmed to Fast Company that the Instagram stories issue was indeed a bug and that the company was counting to work on a fix. But as of Tuesday morning, the frustration of IG users continues as the bug still persists, as evident by numerous complaints on social media.
Hey @instagram y’all did something in the latest update makes the sound plays on stories automatically regardless on if my phone is on silent and lemme tell you as someone who likes to listen to story on mute and decide what I wanna hear this is annoying.

Apparently I’m not the only person who’s stopped checking @instagram stories because of the sound glitch. Phone is on mute and stories still play sound. It’s super annoying. If I didn’t use the app to stay in touch with friends back home I’d have deleted it like 4 updates ago.

Until Meta does roll out of fix for the Instagram Stories not muting bug, there is a temporary workaround that silences the sound in Stories: You need to turn the volume on your iPhone down all the way. Yes, it’s an annoying workaround, but it’s what IG users will need to do if they want to listen to Stories sound-free for the time being.
