Force closing the application is the first step to solving the issue. If the application is running in the background, force closing it might fix the issue temporarily. Another way to fix this problem is to sign out of Instagram and sign back in again. Factory resetting the smartphone is another solution. This method should be followed by a restart of the device.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ensure_no_other_application_is_messing_with_your_instagram\"><\/span>Ensure no other application is messing with your instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you can&#8217;t refresh your Instagram feed, it usually means that your network is too busy or under maintenance. To solve this problem, reduce the traffic on your device. Another potential cause of this issue is an outdated application. Old applications tend to lose their efficiency over time. Lastly, if you&#8217;re having trouble refreshing your feed, check if your date and time are correct. It may be that there&#8217;s a conflict between two applications.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t access Instagram, you might be running an old version of the app. Try opening another app or switching to a different device. If you&#8217;re using an older version of Android, open the Google Play Store and look for an updated version of Instagram. Ensure that the app is running in the latest version, or else you could end up with a corrupted data or an outdated app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ensure_no_other_app_is_running_in_the_background\"><\/span>Ensure no other app is running in the background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In some cases, running a background application can cause your phone to drain its battery much faster than usual. This problem is most likely caused by an app that you haven&#8217;t used for a while, such as Facebook. To fix the problem, you&#8217;ll need to find your charger and plug it in. You can also delete or disable the most recent app that you&#8217;re running. However, you should consider carefully which apps you need to keep running in the background.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ensure_that_instagram_is_not_running_in_the_background\"><\/span>Ensure that instagram is not running in the background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to see the video you&#8217;ve just posted, you need to ensure that Instagram is not running in the background. Running many applications simultaneously in the background can cause your device to run out of memory. Once you have closed all applications, you&#8217;ll be able to watch the video. Another factor that could affect the performance of Instagram is the cache files stored in your browser. To clear your browser cache, go to your settings. If the issue persists, restart your Android device.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to troubleshoot Instagram is to try the app in a different environment. First, ask a friend to use Instagram. If this doesn&#8217;t work, try using another device. If it doesn&#8217;t work on their device, try using another computer. If you can access Instagram in the browser, it&#8217;s possible that you&#8217;re experiencing a cache problem or data corruption. You can try using a different browser if it works on your desktop.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factory_resetting_your_smartphone_fixes_Instagram_crashing\"><\/span>Factory resetting your smartphone fixes Instagram crashing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To fix your crashing Instagram experience, factory resetting your smartphone might be the solution. The process of resetting will erase all your data, including apps and settings. Before attempting this, you should back up all your media files. Then, open up the Settings app on your smartphone and tap on Backup and Reset. Tap on the factory reset option and confirm it. Once the process has finished, install the latest version of Instagram and check if the issue persists.<\/p>\n<p>Performing a factory reset will wipe your phone&#8217;s memory and data and then re-download the app. Performing this step may take some time, so be patient. But once it&#8217;s complete, you can rest assured that your Instagram experience will be back to normal. After factory resetting your smartphone, your apps will no longer crash! It&#8217;s best to do it regularly to avoid the risk of damaging your phone.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oqIRXWwglHM\" width=\"446\" height=\"249\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Does My Instagram Keep Crashing on My Smartphone?
