Whether you\u2019re trying to watch a recipe reel or view a friend\u2019s story, there\u2019s nothing more frustrating than no sound on Instagram ruining your experience. If you\u2019re noticing no sound on Instagram Reels or Stories, there\u2019s usually a quick fix to get things back on track. We\u2019ve got 9 ways to fix your issue with no sound on Instagram.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Check if a Story or Reel Actually Has Audio\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be panicking that there\u2019s no sound on Instagram when the content you\u2019re watching doesn\u2019t actually have any sound. If you don\u2019t see a music icon or tune name, it could be that the Reel or Story you\u2019re watching simply doesn\u2019t have sound at all.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Check Silent Mode Isn\u2019t Enabled\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This may sound obvious, but is silent mode enabled on your phone? If that\u2019s the case, you won\u2019t hear any sound on Instagram Stories or Reels. Hopefully, double-checking and disabling silent mode will solve your problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Try Turning Up Your Phone\u2019s Volume\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like the previous fix, this one is pretty simple. It might be that the volume on your phone or tablet is simply turned down. Try turning it up to see if that changes things.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Use a VPN\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One pretty common reason to experience no sound on Instagram Reels is that the track or song used isn\u2019t licensed to stream in your part of the world. You can get around this by using a VPN. Just connect your VPN to a region server where the song is licensed (usually, this would be the country where the person sharing the Reel resides), and this should resolve your problem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Check For Instagram Updates\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One quick way to fix the no sound on Instagram issue is to ensure you have the latest version of the app. Check the Google Play store or Apple App Store for any updates, install them, restart your device, and see if the issue is fixed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Try Logging Out and In Again\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some issues can be easily fixed by logging out of the app and back in again. Here\u2019s how to do this, but make sure you know your login details.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Open the Instagram app.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. At the bottom right of your screen, tap on your Profile Picture<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tap the hamburger menu<\/span> at the top right, then select Settings and Privacy<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Still got no sound on Instagram Stories and reels? Clearing the app\u2019s cache can often resolve issues. Here\u2019s how to do that.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Go to Settings <\/span>on your device.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s a good idea to restart the app after you\u2019ve cleared the cache.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      8. Reinstall Instagram\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If you still can\u2019t hear any sound on Instagram Reels or Stories, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Make sure you remember your login details or have them stored on your phone before you do this, though. Here\u2019s how to do it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Long-tap on the Instagram icon <\/span>on your device and select Uninstall <\/span>or Remove App<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. You may see a confirmation message, in which case, tap OK <\/span>or Delete App <\/span>to confirm you want to delete Instagram.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Once the app has been deleted, open the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and download Instagram again.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

        9. Report the Issue to Instagram\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If you\u2019re still having a sound issue after trying all of the above fixes, it\u2019s time to reach out for support.
