Instagram fixes bug with sound when exporting videos

According to Meta, the lack of sound on loaded drums is unintentional. The company is working to fix the problem. A fix should be coming soon.

Meta says it intentionally didn’t cut the audio track of uploaded Reels videos to prevent users from exporting them to TikTok. This is, in fact, the content of a statement sent recently by The Verge. A company representative cites an “audio bug”as the cause of this incident and explains that a fix is ​​in the works.

According to Meta, the lack of sound on loaded drums is unintentional.

A few days ago, an American site reported that users who wanted to export their videos to another application (like TikTok) were forced to publish the video first – otherwise they risk losing the audio track. Until now, Instagram users have been able to shoot and edit videos using the tools offered by Reels and submit them for posting elsewhere.

While Meta hopes to position Reels as the future of Instagram and Facebook, the American giant is actively vying for the crown with TikTok’s most popular short video app. Creators and brands often post their videos to their TikTok accounts (or vice versa), with Instagram and Facebook no longer being exclusive destinations for this content.

The company is working to fix the problem

TikTok offers its users the ability to easily post their videos to other platforms, including Facebook and Instagram Reels, but the reverse operation on Meta-owned platforms requires manually uploading the video. Reels and TikTok have different editing tools, it’s pretty easy to see why a user might want to edit on one particular platform and post on another, not to mention that it just saves time.

A fix should be coming soon

According to a statement from a company representative provided to Engadget, Meta is still working on a fix for this audio bug on Reels. This issue only affects iPhone users. “Due to a bug, the Reels download option is not working properly for iOS users, and in some cases there is no sound in the downloaded files – we are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible,”Menlo Park explained in its press release. release.
