Question

Issue logging into instagram


Userlevel 1

Does anyone else have any issues accessing Instagram on data, when I open the app it gives me a "couldn't refresh feed" ? I'm able to access everything fine on WiFi and all other apps. I'm using Google pixel 8 pro

I've tried the following 

- reinstalling app, also not on any beta versions

- logging out/in (sometimes this would work temporarily)

- restarting phone

 

Appreciate any help!

I'm having the exact same problem, tried all the above...using the Google 8 Pro just for reference with iD mobile.

Glad I’m not the only one, has this happened to you recently? For me, it started around a month ago. 
I’ve also reported the issue to Instagram but not holding my breath out for a fix anytime soon

Hi @Frankieee, a quick question on this. Are you able to access Instagram via WIFI, and it’s data specifically that’s blocking access?

@Frankieee,

It sounds like your issue is with Instagram as other apps are working fine.

Have you tried the SIM in another handset and checked if Instagram works on that handset?

If you are using an iPhone on Mobile/Cellular Data, you must allow internet access to the Instagram app in Settings.

@Kash I’ve tried the sim card in another device (Pixel 4 XL) and that doesn’t seem to have any issues

I'm having this exact same problem on my pixel 8. I've followed advice to fix it and it's not worked. I've raised a complaint with the network and.still it's not working. Maybe it's a pixel issue?

Hi @Frankieee & @Finmoo 

 

Every here having issues appears to be on a Pixel device, has a network settings reset been tried?

 

Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth

 

Resetting network settings will NOT reset any personal data (Photos, Videos, Contacts etc) only network settings.
