Hi. I'm using an Iphone 15 pro max on the latest ios. Whenever I try accessing instagram videos, they are muted by default. I searched all settings on iphone and on instagram, but I can't figure out how to make all videos to unmute. Please, I'd appreciate some help if anyone knows what could be wrong, or if the app is no longer accessible. Thanks.

Yeah it's a bit annoying now the only real workaround I've found is to, well, unmute the video manually by double tapping where it says video or something like that, in the middle or top half of the screen.
What I do
Hey. I just joined Instagram a week or two ago, and agree this is annoying.
I’m finding it’s best to ignore the Play Pause option in the VoiceOver actions menu, as like you say, the video is muted. Instead I just double tap on the video, which seems to open it in a new screen, then select the video again on that screen. It now plays with audio.
This puts you into reels view, but you can select the Back button twice to get back to your feed. It’s not ideal but it works.

The action rotor for this,…
The action rotor for this, play/pause, barely works for me anyway.
