Instagram Reels can now be paused with a single tap

Instagram

Instagram has introduced a new feature aimed at making it easier to interact with Reels. The feature is available on the web and is also rolling out to both Android and iOS apps with the latest update.

The Meta-owned platform announced the feature via a post on Threads. With the update, users can now pause Reels with a simple tap. Previously, tapping a Reel would mute the audio instead.

Previously, pausing a Reel required a tap-and-hold gesture. With the update, a single tap now pauses playback, and the mute option appears once the Reel is paused.

Back in December 2025, Instagram also announced an app that brought Reels to the TV.
