Pausing Instagram Reels without holding is a feature that allows users to stop a reel without having to keep their finger on the screen. This can be useful for taking a closer look at a particular frame, reading captions, or simply giving your fingers a break.
There are two ways to pause an Instagram Reel without holding. The first is to simply tap on the screen once. This will pause the reel and display a play button in the center of the screen. To resume playback, simply tap the play button or anywhere else on the screen.
