To fix the problem when your Instagram feed won’t refresh, try these steps:
- Check your internet: Make sure your Wi-Fi or data connection is good. Bad connections can stop the feed from updating.
- Restart the app: Close Instagram completely and then open it again to see if that helps.
- Update Instagram: Go to the app store and make sure you have the newest version of Instagram. New versions often fix bugs like this.
- Clear the app’s memory: If you’re using an Android phone, you can try clearing Instagram’s memory in your phone settings.
- Delete and reinstall: If nothing else works, try deleting Instagram from your phone and then downloading it again from the app store.
. If none of these work, contact Instagram support for more help.
Here are some potential fixes:
Log Out and Log Back In: Sometimes, logging out of your Instagram account and then logging back in can refresh your account settings and resolve the issue
Check Automatic Time and Date: Ensure that your device’s time and date settings are set to automatic. Incorrect time settings can cause issues with app functionality.
Disable Data Saver Mode: If you’re using Instagram Data Saver mode, try disabling it. Similarly, check if your system-wide data saver mode is turned off.
Enable Unrestricted Data Usage (Android): On Android devices, make sure Instagram has unrestricted data usage permissions.
Enable Mobile Data for Instagram (iOS): If you’re using an iOS device, ensure that mobile data access is allowed for the Instagram app.
Force Quit the Instagram App (Android): Force quit the app and then reopen it. This can help resolve temporary glitches.
