You may have noticed that your post is getting rejected due to several different reasons, such as a faulty connection, a bug, or a violation of community guidelines. Here are a few solutions to fix Instagram&#8217;s posting issues. Hopefully, one of them will help you fix your problem. If not, read on for more tips and tricks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fixing_a_faulty_connection_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Fixing a faulty connection on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When your connection is poor, you may experience problems posting photos and videos on Instagram. Using two different Internet connections can be difficult when your phone isn&#8217;t using the highest speed. A poor connection can affect the quality of Wi-Fi or mobile data, and it can even cause downloads to hang. Here are three ways to solve this issue. 1. Try switching to a better Internet connection. 2. Use a different Internet connection. Switching from Wi-Fi to Mobile Data may help.<\/p>\n<p>Check your network connection. If you are using a VPN or proxy server, it could be causing the error. You can disable the VPN, or change its settings. The next time you get this error, try logging out and back in. If this still does not work, contact your internet service provider. They will be able to help you fix the problem. Then, try using Instagram again. Your network connection should be fine again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fixing_a_bug_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Fixing a bug on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After experiencing numerous app crashes in Q1 and Q2 of 2018, Instagram has started rolling out a repair service to resolve the issue. Fortunately, this repair has worked for most Android phones, but a small percentage of them are still experiencing issues. Regardless, here are a few tips for fixing an Instagram app crash. Hopefully, one of these will help you get back to using the app in no time! Read on to learn how you can fix the bug on your phone and get it back to normal!<\/p>\n<p>First, try logging out of Instagram and opening it again. If this doesn&#8217;t fix the issue, then you may have accidentally hit an antispam limit. Try switching to a different browser or changing your IP address. If none of these solutions work, try logging in with another account or changing your bio. You may even want to check out VPN services that can change your IP address for you. After logging out of Instagram, try uploading from another account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fixing_a_community_guidelines_violation_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Fixing a community guidelines violation on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in fixing a community guidelines violation on Instagram is to understand what exactly Instagram is deeming as offensive. This message is typically displayed when the post fails to meet Instagram&#8217;s standards for content. If your post does not appear in the News feed and you feel that your message isn&#8217;t inflammatory enough, you can request a manual review of your post. Then, follow the instructions to request a review of your post.<\/p>\n<p>In case your post was deemed to be offensive to people, Instagram will remove it immediately. This is to ensure the safety of all Instagram users. Whether it&#8217;s about an image, a quote, or a video, Instagram wants its community to remain safe. Users must refrain from harassing or posting content that is based on racism or hate speech. Rather than trying to cheat the system, users should post content that is authentic and helpful to other Instagram users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fixing_a_temporary_file_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Fixing a temporary file on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few ways to fix an Instagram won&#8217;t let me post problem. First, check your network connection. Your phone may be plugged in, but your data connection isn&#8217;t stable. If your phone is on cellular data, disconnect and reconnect. Or, your phone may have the wrong PSK (security key) for its wireless network SSID. If both of these steps don&#8217;t resolve the issue, try restarting your device.<\/p>\n<p>If the issue persists, check your app&#8217;s settings and try clearing the cache. Open the app and tap the &#8216;info&#8217; button. Scroll down to the &#8216;Storage&#8217; option. Tap &#8216;Clear data&#8217;. If this doesn&#8217;t fix the problem, contact Instagram&#8217;s support. Then, you can try logging in to Instagram again. Once you&#8217;ve successfully cleaned your data, your device will be able to recognize it again.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d3-Pd0xENts\" width=\"467\" height=\"261\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Won&#8217;t Instagram Let Me Post?
