This action makes it easy to access sites that have been blocked in the country.If you have any proxy tool on your device, be it browser, a special addition or downloaded profile - then we recommend to delete all VPN settings or try to perform a profile procedure from another gadget.
Cause 6: Application Failure
Any software can work incorrectly, and the most real step to solve the problem is to reinstall it. Just delete the installed instagram application from your smartphone. For example, on the iPhone device it can be done, while holding the finger on the application icon until the entire desktop is asked, and then clicking on the cross icon and confirming the removal of the application from the gadget.

Delete settings on Android
For Android, it is quite difficult to say how in your case the settings will be executed, since different smartphones have different versions and shells of this operating system, and therefore access to one or another settings menu item can be very different.
- For example, in our example, you must open the settings on the device and go to the "Advanced" section.
- At the very end of the window displayed, select "Restore and Reset".
- Select the "Reset Settings" item.
- And finally, you should choose the "Personal data" item, after having previously convinced that below the toggleler near the "Clear Device Memory" item is delivered in an inactive position.
