Basic Troubleshooting Steps

Before continuing with the troubleshooting steps to fix this issue, you should try the following basic fixes. The very first thing that you should try doing is restarting your phone. Most probably, the issue is encountered due to temporary glitches on your phone. Such glitches can easily be solved by restarting your phone.ย 

If that doesnโ€™t fix the issue, then you should check your internet connection. If your internet is down or if it is unstable, then also you may face this issue. You should try turning on airplane mode and then turning it off. Try connecting to a different network if that doesnโ€™t help fix the issue.ย 

Turn Off Data Saver On Instagram

If you face this error on Instagram, you should try turning off the data saver. When the data saver is on, Instagram will utilize less data, and you will not be able to post on the platform. To turn off the data saver, follow the steps given below-

  • Open the Instagram app.ย 
  • Go to yourย Profileย and tap on theย Menuย icon at the top right corner.
  • From the menu, openย Settings.
  • Now in Settings,ย tap onย Account.
  • Here search forย Cellular Data Useย and open it.
  • Here turn on the toggle forย Data Saver.

Clear Cache Of Instagram App

If you have been facing this issue, you should try clearing the appโ€™s cache. To do so, follow the steps given below-

  • Tap and hold theย Instagramย app on the app drawer.ย 
  • Now, tap on theย App infoย icon.ย 
  • In theย App infoย screen, tap on theย Storageย option.ย 
  • Now, tap onย Clear Cacheย to clear the cache of the app.ย 

Re-Login To Your Account

You should try logging out of your device and then re-login again. This should probably fix the temporary glitch not allowing you to post on Instagram. To do so, follow the steps given below-

  • Tap on theย Profileย picture at the bottom right corner of the Instagram app.ย 
  • Here, tap on the three dots at the top right corner and then onย Settings.ย 
  • Now, tap onย Log Out.ย 
  • Close the Instagram app and then restart it.ย 
  • Now, re-login to your account and then check if the issue is still faced or not.ย 

Close Background Apps

If you are still facing the issue, you should try closing all the background apps. You should close all the background apps, including Instagram. Once done, launch Instagram and then check if you can post on Instagram or not.ย 

Update Instagram

Many times, you may face the issue when the app is outdated. You should update the Instagram app to the latest version to fix the issue. To do so, follow the steps given below-

  • Open the Application store on your phone, i.e.,ย Play Storeย (for Android) orย App Storeย (for iOS).ย 
  • Here, search for theย Instagramย app and tap on it.ย 
  • From here, update the app.ย 
  • Once done, launch the Instagram app and check if you can post on Instagram or not.ย 

Reduce File Size

In most cases, such an issue is not encountered due to the large file size. However, you should try reducing the file size if you keep facing this issue. Generally, photos and videos of high quality take longer to upload and sometimes do not get posted.ย 

You should try reducing the file size. The maximum resolution of the photo is 1936 x 1936 pixels, so you should keep your photos less than that or equal. Similarly, Instagram supports H.264 format with MP4 codec, and the maximum resolution supported is 1080pixels. You should reduce the size of the video to the equivalent and then try uploading it again.ย 

Reinstall Instagram App

If you still encounter the issue and cannot post on Instagram, then you should try reinstalling the Instagram app. Reinstalling the Instagram app should most probably fix any issue you encounter on the app. To reinstall the Instagram app, follow the steps given below-

  • Firstly, uninstall the Instagram app from your phone.ย 
  • Now, head toย PlayStoreย (on Android) orย App Storeย (on iOS).ย 
  • Here, search forย Instagramย and tap on it.ย 
  • From here, install the Instagram app.ย 
  • Once done, launch the app and log in to your account.ย 
  • Now, try posting on Instagram, and you will no longer face the issue.ย 

Conclusion:
