Try these if your Instagram feed is not updating

Are you frustrated about your Instagram showing the same posts for hours today? Here are a few things you can do to fix the issue.

  • Check Internet connectivity – Make sure you have good reception on the internet you use without disruptions. Often, connectivity issue on the users’ end causes the glitch.
  • Re-login to Instagram – Sometimes, just logging out of Instagram and logging back in will fix the issues around the feed not updating.
  • Have you updated your Instagram app yet? The older version doesn’t support the latest updates. So, make sure you are up to date with it.
  • Another possible factor stopping your feed from refreshing is incorrect time and date on your phone as it would conflict with the app. So ensure it’s updated.
  • Make sure there’s enough space on your device. Instagram cannot store any new data on your phone if its capacity is full, thus stopping the feed from updating.
  • Similarly, the Instagram cache takes up a lot of space too. So, make it a point to clear the cache regularly.
  • If none of the above help, shoot a message to Instagram support for further assistance.

    Users frustrated over the recent glitch

    Instagram is one of the most popular apps and any sort of issue on the platform turns the users restless.

    Such is the scenario today on Twitter as a large number of Instagram users are complaining about their feed not refreshing.

    One frustrated user said: “Seriously @instagram it’s been a week and my feed still isn’t updating properly. Proper passing me off now!!!”

    “Why is my Instagram not updating my feed, it’s been the same post for 2 days ago smh,” said another.

    Another said: “@instagram my app has not been refreshing my feed for the last 24 hours. Stories and everything else are refreshing, just not posts. HELP.”

    “Mine stopped refreshing since yesterday afternoon. It’s so frustrating but glad I’m not the only one,” tweeted one.

    Instagram is yet to respond

    Users are urging Instagram to tell them what’s wrong or fix the issue with the feed updates, but the photo and video sharing app is yet to address the glitch.

    You can track @Instagram and @Instagram Comms on Twitter for all the latest updates.

    Meanwhile, Instagram has been sharing tweets related to its various options amid people’s complaints about the existing features not working efficiently.

    Only a few hours ago, the platform tweeted about ‘Reels‘ and ‘Explore,’ explaining their functionality.
