Instagram is a great way to share photos and videos with friends, but it can be frustrating when the app starts playing automatically when you open it. If you want to disable auto play on Instagram, here are some tips. To start, open Instagram and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. From here, select Settings. On the next page, under “General,” click on “Auto Play.” If you want to disable auto play for all videos and photos, select “Never Auto Play.” If you just want to disable auto play for specific types of content (like Stories or Live Videos), select “Only Auto Play Videos And Photos From People You Follow.” Finally, under “Auto Play Settings,” make sure that “Only Auto Play Videos And Photos From People You Follow” is selected and click on Save Changes. ..
