The reason for this might be a combination of several things. For example, your system resources might be too low for the application to run properly. Or, Akamai&#8217;s DNS may be having problems. If you cannot connect to the social media sites, you can try unfollowing accounts to reconnect to your existing accounts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"instagram_crash_if_you_dont_have_adequate_system_resources\"><\/span>instagram crash if you don&#8217;t have adequate system resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your Instagram app crashes, your Android device is not running at its maximum capacity. You can try to force close or delete the application from your phone. Both methods should help to resolve the issue. However, if these don&#8217;t fix the problem, you can force close Instagram app by rebooting your Android device. In the process, it will download the latest version of the app. Note: Force closing or deleting the app will also delete any previous data from the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why your Instagram app crashes is due to a lack of memory storage space. Your iPhone doesn&#8217;t have much memory, so it might be having trouble handling Instagram. To resolve this issue, you can restart your iPhone by unplugging it from the charging cable or battery for 10 seconds. This will release the pressure on the RAM and fix the issue. Once your iPhone runs properly, it should launch Instagram without any problems.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Akamais_problems_with_DNS\"><\/span>Akamai&#8217;s problems with DNS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram and Facebook users have been experiencing outages this week following Akamai&#8217;s problems with DNS. The issue is caused by an update that contains a bug in the DNS system used to translate domain names to IP addresses. As a result, the sites have been offline for about two hours. This is a significant problem for both Facebook and Instagram. To solve this problem, you need to make sure you have an SSL certificate on your website.<\/p>\n<p>A DNS problem might cause the outage, particularly if you&#8217;re trying to access your accounts via Facebook or Instagram. Although users can still access their accounts, they might not be able to access the apps. The Facebook website&#8217;s status page is also down, meaning that businesses relying on the service cannot check its status. The company blames its DNS service, Akamai Edge, for the outage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollow_accounts_before_you_can_follow_new_ones\"><\/span>Unfollow accounts before you can follow new ones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you are on Instagram or Facebook, you may find yourself having to unfollow accounts before you can follow new ones. This is especially true if you&#8217;re unable to follow back a user you&#8217;ve unfollowed. There are two methods to unfollow an account: you can either manually do it yourself, or use a third-party app that automates the process.<\/p>\n<p>The first option will allow you to unfollow the person who&#8217;s unfollowed you. Unfollowing an account will prevent them from seeing any of your posts, but not their own. If you like the person&#8217;s posts, you can continue following them. But be careful &#8211; unfollowing someone doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you won&#8217;t see their posts anymore, and it doesn&#8217;t stop them from sending you messages.<\/p>\n<p>The second option is to follow a few hundred people a day, but don&#8217;t follow them. This will clog your feed. Unless you have a lot of time to waste, don&#8217;t use this method to increase your followers. While it may seem like an efficient method, it won&#8217;t scale. In fact, Instagram may punish you more harshly or ban you altogether if you continue following and unfollowing accounts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uninstall_Instagram_from_iPhone\"><\/span>Uninstall Instagram from iPhone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do I uninstall Instagram on my iPhone? First, I need to sign out of the Instagram app. It may crash my phone. Usually, the only way to remove pictures is to sign in again and recreate my account. But sometimes, I do not know how to do this. I can&#8217;t even log out of the account! Luckily, there are a few ways to remove Instagram from your iPhone. Read on to learn how!<\/p>\n<p>To reactivate notifications, go to your Instagram app and check your settings. If you&#8217;ve enabled notifications, you can turn them off. Also, make sure that the Do Not Disturb and &#8220;Suspend all&#8221; settings are turned off. You must remember your password to re-enter the app. You can also delete saved posts, which are collections created for future use. You can continue to access them on other devices.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5ChuHqw-sxU\" width=\"444\" height=\"248\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is Facebook and Instagram Not Working For Me?
