Instagram is a great way to share photos and videos with friends and family, 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’s how:

  1. Open Instagram and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen.
  2. Under “Settings,” click on “AutoPlay.”
  3. Uncheck the box next to “AutoPlay videos.” You can now manually play videos by clicking on them or by pressing the play button on your keyboard. ..
