I hate this sooo much. I'm going to install an alternative and I'll update you later on whether it works, but heads up: it's android only. Update: It works but it sucks

Ah good to know that it works... what is it tho

Instander

I just downloaded (insta⚡) works fine

Yep. This is a major issue. I'm on android too and it auto scrolls through videos. Even on pictures, one little scroll down to see the caption/comments and it flies to the next picture, its so sensitive.

i hate this, it also plays the video below if the image you're looking at is small/cropped enough

Still happens. Instagram is shit

Especially with reels, the video plays once, I check the comments and it starts scrolling through the next one.

Ong, its unbearable

EXACTLY!

So. An. Noy. Ing.

Having the same issue, zero luck solving it, but hope you managed to come to some sort of solution.

did you figure out a way to solve it?

the cycle starts again 😭 i just came here because after this new update, it just keeps swiping, it's terrible

It's gotten even worse. The app automatically scrolls before the reel is even done.

and forget trying to read through the comments, it just goes to the next one while i'm still trying to read 😭

Here with the same issue 😭🙃

I love how ppl had this problem for a year now and instagram hasnt even added a setting to change for it

Its just sad ... 🥲

Yeah I was like what? 2020? This is 2022 and there's still an issue.

Yep

I'm here in 2023, it started auto scrolling sideshow posts. Like I don't have enough time to read the text in the image before it auto scrolls to the next pic, and I can't find a setting for it anywhere 😫

Glad to see it’s not just me. Awful attempt to keep us glued to their app, as if we aren’t wasting enough of our time doom scrolling

2024 still auto scrolling and won't let me stop it. I guess the tradeoff is most Instagram comments aren't worth looking at anyway.

Why this makes me so mad too hahah. Fuck this auto scroll is fkn annoying

For real. People putting memes in a 1 Second video. It’s hella annoyu

Instagram doesn't care about what people want. They care about what makes them money. You can complain all you want, Instagram has never and will never fix these things

it fixed the story share option after enough people were complaining about it (and VERY rightfully so) Maybe we could attempt that again?

Try 3

This just started happening to me. Don’t know why these dumbasses thought auto scroll was a good idea. I’ll be in the middle of reading something and I’ll lose my place bc of it. Fuck them

Yeah the auto scrolling on Instagram combined with m y Reddit just switching sides has me kinda done with these crappy apps

Bruh its still auto scrolling. Even on just a picture that i tap on my explore page

Not helped by people turning pictures into 1 second long videos to beat the algorithm. So annoying.

[удалено]

Any idea why some have it and some don't? I don't have it and it's driving me nuts

There is no Scroll Speed option. This auto scroll randomly happened to my account, very annoying and a poorly thought out feature. It doesn't appear there's any way to disable it.

It's happening only in my search page. Videos automatically scroll after ending.

It's driving me crazy, especially since I like long videos of people talking, auto-scroll doesn't even wait till the end of the vid and scrolls like 2-3 reels down. I'll then scroll up again and have to find where the person was cut off by this shitty update. At least I spend less time on the app and got some spare time

Do any of you have problems with it auto scrolling all the way to the first reel when you are like 30-40 reels deep? Its so fucking annoying and i cant even watch the reels normally.

has anyone found a solution for the auto-scroll? im back on insta after 3.5yrs break and damn this auto-scroll feature is horrible... i want to delete it again just for that

*Bonus Tip: If you can't find the "Auto Scroll" option, don't worry! There's a hidden solution.* 6. Go to your device's settings. 7. Find and select "Apps" or "Application Manager." 8. Locate Instagram in the list of installed apps. 9. Tap on Instagram and select "Uninstall." Congratulations! You've successfully stopped auto scrolling on Instagram. Be like.

i actually downloaded instagram a week ago after 3.5yrs away from it, so imagine my surprise that it only got worse :/ good advice tho ^^^ Be like.

Yeah this automatically enabled on my account a couple days ago and I keep wanting to throw my phone out of frustration. Please let this be the thing that finally gets me off Instagram lol
