Update September 24, 2021: Facebook has acknowledged the issue and promised a fix. An update for Instagram has been released to the App Store that appears to fix this issue for many users at the time of writing. We recommend updating Instagram as soon as possible via this link.

If you are experiencing no sound issue in Instagram Stories, YouTube, Google Photos, etc. apps on iOS 15, here’s how to fix it. It’s a small workaround, but again, it’s not really a solution. Read on.

You might not realize it, but Instagram Stories has been around for half a decade, having debuted in 2016. Since its introduction, Stories have proven to be more engaging than posts, as you can simply tap on one and subsequent stories from others will load automatically. While the app is well maintained, you may experience some issues while using Instagram or any of its features.

One issue that many users have been facing lately is not being able to listen to the audio of an Instagram Story. It’s been annoying those who have updated to iOS 15 as it’s a new setting in the new operating system that’s the reason behind the issue.
