On Android:
1. Open the Settings app on your Android phone.
2. Navigate to Apps >> Manage Apps or All Apps.
3. Tap on Instagram from the list of installed apps to open App Info.
4. Alternatively, press and hold the Instagram app icon then tap on the ‘i’ icon to open App Info.

2. Swipe up the Instagram app window to remove it.
3. Reopen the app and check whether it’s working properly or not.
Update Instagram App

3. Click on the Update button to download the latest version.
4. If there is no update available then you can also try re-installing the app.
Check if it’s down
If the above method does not work then there are chances that the Instagram servers are down and there are some technical errors. So, check whether Instagram is down or not. Here’s how you can check it.
1. Open a browser and visit an outage detector website (e.g., Downdetector, IsTheServiceDown, etc.)
2. Once opened, search for Instagram in the search box and hit enter.
3. Here, you will need to check the spike of the graph. A huge spike on the graph means a lot of users are experiencing an error on Instagram and it’s most likely down.
