Why the hell do these newfang apps not have video controls? Why isn't there a switch to turn off audio by default?

I don't use ig,tiktok, snap but people around me do and its very annoying.

Audio on IG is off by default. it's just that the people around you like hearing the noises.

YouTube shorts has audio on by default.

Instagram has on by default unless you touch to mute it.

Facebook has audio on by default.

Don't know about tiktok. Its banned in India for past 3-4 years

I asked around.

yeah, the lack of video controls seems like an evil, perversely-incentivized design decision
