Meanwhile, do you want to fix an Insta Story bug? We can help. See the details below:

1. Hold On For Instagram Staff To Fix The Bug
One of the most rampant scenarios is that your Instagram app is not functioning because Instagram developers are rectifying a bug or working on a particular feature. This can mean that users will not be able to refresh their homepage, see anyone’s story or share their own since something is not right with the Instagram servers. In that case, the only thing you can do is, well, nothing. Hold on for them to wrap whatever they are doing up.

2. Restart Your Internet Connection
Internet instability can happen once in a while. Sometimes, the internet speed can be rapid and amazing, other times, not so rapid and not so amazing. This is normal. If you are certain that Instagram’s story feature is functioning for others except you, then it can be the Internet speed preventing your story from being shared. What can be done to rectify this is to de-activate Wi-Fi or your normal Internet connection, hold on for at least 10 seconds and re-activate it. If you are connected to a coffee shop’s Wi-Fi network, make sure you use your own Internet, since these kinds have a reputation of being too slow.

3. Restart Your Instagram App
At times, a simple restart can fix the problem. Simply close the app and get rid of the history of the app that you recently made use of. On an Android phone, this feature can be accessed by clicking on the 2 rectangles button, placed one behind another.

4. Force Close Your Instagram App
This method needs you to do more, but it is quite easy and will solve the issue. The precise steps depend on the OS that your device is running, but it all boils down to the following:

  • Gain access to your smartphone’s Settings.
  • Locate and click Applications.
  • Locate Instagram and launch it.
  • Click the option that lets you close the application manually.
