It seems like you're experiencing an issue with Instagram Reels where tapping on the screen pauses the video instead of muting it, and there's no option to mute it. This is due to Instagram's A/B testing, where they're experimenting with different features. Unfortunately, there's no way to permanently choose between muting or pausing videos, as it's a server-side test. However, you can still pause the video by pressing and holding on the screen, which is the original method. Note that this will only pause the video until you lift your finger off the screen. It's worth noting that some users are seeing a separate mute button, but its placement and availability are inconsistent. Some users report seeing it at the top, while others see it below the Like, Comment, and Share buttons. I hope this clears up the confusion!
@@swapnil6306 Sometimes your explore page includes pictures with audio (different from reels videos). Those still have an option to mute them using a button in the bottom right corner. I find that if I mute them, that also mutes my Reels
Mate when I click on the reel it pauses the reel and no option to mute??

If I go back to Home and mute videos in my feed, when going back into reels they are muted too.
To mute reels while browsing, go back to browse tab, long tap on reel, on pop up disable speaker icon, now reels are muted
