What boggles my brain is when someone wants to show me a video on Instagram, but there is no way to play it from the beginning. So have to wait for it to loop around.


Typically the "solution" is to scroll up/down to the next/previous video and then back to the desired video. Though that only works for reels, not non-reel videos (whatever those are called).


YouTube Shorts are doing the same thing. It's infuriating.
