How to fix “Instagram keeps stopping”

How to fix “Instagram keeps stopping” (5 methods):

• Clear the app’s cache and data: Open the Settings app > Apps > Instagram > Storage > Clear Cache > Clear Data and re-open Instagram.
• Install an older version of Instagram: https://instagram.en.uptodown.com/android/versions.
• Update Instagram to the latest version.
• Uninstall and reinstall Instagram.
• Wait for 24 to 48 hours.

Method 1 : Clear Instagram's Cache

Clearing Instagram's cache is the easiest solution to the crash (and the first method you should try). When you clear the cache and data of Instagram, the application will open a clean page that can fix certain problems such as loading or freezing, but this will also delete the information you use to log in to Instagram, so you will automatically log out of the application.

As a result, you have to log back into your Instagram account.

Method 2 : Installing an older version of Instagram

It is recommended that you install a working and stable old version of Instagram until a new update of the app is released to fix the error. You can use Uptodown to install an older version of the app.

Unfortunately, this only works on Android devices, not iOS devices.

Method 3 : Update Instagram to the latest version

If you haven't recently installed Instagram updates and updated Instagram to the latest version, you need to do this. Some updates contain bug fixes and improvements that can fix the "Instagram keeps stopping" error.

Method 4 : Uninstall and reinstall Instagram

Uninstalling and reinstalling the app will automatically update Instagram to the latest version. But when you uninstall and reinstall the app, the cache and data of the app will also be cleared. In this case, you may need to re-login to Instagram.

The irony is that some of the new updates you install for bug fixes bring new bugs to the app. If so, you need to wait for a follow-up update from Instagram.

Method 5 : Wait for 24 to 48 hours

If all else fails, you should wait 24 to 48 hours before trying to use Instagram again.

In some cases, Instagram may be down for everyone due to a database, server, or application issue. In this case, you need to check back periodically to see if the problem is fixed. You can also use DownDetector to monitor downtime. If the chart shows a bearish trend, it means that the problem is most likely resolved.

Why is my Insta not opening?

Your Insta is not opening because Instagram is probably down. First you should check if there is a general problem with Instagram. You can use DownDetector to check Instagram status.

Otherwise, it is due to a bug or glitch in the app.Instagram outages happen all the time and are usually fixed within a few hours. On the other hand, there may be bugs and glitches after an update. In that case, you'll have to wait for a follow-up update that fixes them.
