Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities, DabsG!


It sounds like you opened an Instagram link and the video is playing in a loop in the background. Since the link is through Instagram, I recommend checking out this article with steps for How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and quit the apps running in the background. Once they are closed, Restart your iPhone and test to see if the issues are still going on. 


Let me know the results and have a wonderful day!
