Force-close the app.
Open and force-close the app multiple times. Some users reported it took over 15 tries before Instagram opened to the login screen. Force-closing is different from minimizing the app. Make sure to close the app completely (so it isn't running in the background) before you open it again.
Try the desktop version.
Use Instagram on the web. If you're already using Instagram on the web, try using the app version instead. If Instagram works on the other platform, the problem is likely your device rather than Instagram.
Check the server status.
Check DownDetector for outages. If you can't get Instagram to load, it could be due to a server outage. You'll see reports from the last 24 hours. If other users are also experiencing issues, it's most likely an error on Instagram's end.
Update the app.
Make sure you're running the latest version of Instagram. Updates provide important bug fixes and quality improvements. If you have an older version of Instagram, you may be unable to use the app properly.
Clear the app's cache.
Empty the Instagram app cache. If you're using an iPhone or iPad, you'll need to delete the app and install it again. On Android, navigate to Settings > Apps > Instagram > Storage > Clear cache or Clear data.
Restart your device.
Turn your device off fully and turn it on again. A quick restart can fix common issues.
Update your device.
Make sure your device is running the latest update. Similar to app updates, iOS and Android updates provide important bug fixes, so be sure your device is up-to-date.
