How to watch Instagram Reels hands-free? Here’s an easy way

Instagram Reels: People love watching Reels on Instagram. Often, hours slip by unnoticed while watching them. This craze is particularly evident among the youth and children. However, scrolling through Reels for hours can be tiring, and holding the smartphone for extended periods can cause hand strain. Many users are unaware of a feature that allows them to watch Instagram Reels hands-free, with the content scrolling automatically.

An amazing feature

For your information, the 'Auto Scroll' or 'Auto Play' feature is now available on certain smartphones and specific versions of the Instagram app. If you see this option in your app, you can enjoy watching Instagram Reels without using your hands. Once enabled, the Reels play automatically. However, please note that this feature is not available to all users and may change with future updates. If you do not see this option on your phone, try updating the Instagram app to the latest version.

This feature is available on iPhone.

If you use an iPhone, there is a different feature available for you. The iOS 'Voice Control' feature can be very useful in this regard. You can enable it by going to the 'Accessibility' section within 'Settings'. Once activated, you can control on-screen options using voice commands and, in many instances, watch Reels hands-free. This feature is excellent for those who prefer a more relaxed way of using their smartphones.

You can also use Voice Commands.

Additionally, Android smartphones come with Google Assistant, which allows users to perform tasks using voice commands. It is worth noting that this can be achieved if users activate Google Assistant on their smartphones and open Instagram using voice commands. After that, users simply need to speak, and Instagram Reels will start playing automatically.

Additionally, some devices offer a 'Voice Access' feature that allows users to execute various basic commands without touching the screen. While this feature may not function identically across all phones or with every Instagram feature, it can prove quite helpful for standard navigation.
