You may have mute switched on but as soon as you slide to the next Story noise starts blaring out, reports Digital Trends.

This is particularly frustrating and embarrassing if you’re in a quiet environment like the work office and noise suddenly blasts from your iPhone.

“It’s really disruptive and overstimulating.”

A third vented: “My Instagram stories can’t mute and it makes me angry.
