Instagram App Keeps Crashing? Check Your Internet Connection

How to Fix Instagram that Keeps Crashing on iPhone or Android Smartphones

As you and the other 400 million active daily users know, Instagram is a great way to share pictures and short videos. But, at the worst times, Instagram crashes. You may be at your child’s first dance recital where they are center stage. Or they just made their first save as goalkeeper on the U9 team. 

Assuming there aren’t any software conflicts or hardware errors on your smartphone, and you have the latest version of Instagram, the issue is your Internet connection.

Read below to know how you can be sure to capture and share life’s precious moments at the instant they occur without being frustrated by the Instagram app that keeps crashing.

Why Does My Instagram Crash when I Open It?

There are multiple reasons why this can happen; some of them include:

  • you don’t have the latest version of the app which probably fixes that bug.
  • there are software conflicts on your device between Instagram and other apps.
  • you have a problem with your account – is it blocked or disabled?
  • poor Internet connection  slow and unstable. This is the most common issue when it comes to Instagram freezing while uploading videos.

Here’s what happens: by default iOS and Android smartphones and tablets use only one Internet connection at a time. You must either connect through Wi-Fi or through a mobile data connection. If your signal is weak or spotty for any reason, your device can lose little bits of information called packets. This results in uploads and downloads getting hung up or stopping entirely. This is why it can seem like nothing is happening, or why images don’t load and videos lag or Instagram keeps crashing.

There may not be enough bandwidth available to complete your request as fast as you would like. It’s a little like being caught in a traffic jam on the freeway – the more lanes you have, the faster you can go.

How to Fix the Crashing Issues of the Instagram App

As mentioned before, poor Internet is most likely the cause of your Instagram app crashing. But you should rule out the other potential causes by:

  • restarting Instagram
  • clearing the app’s cache
  • updating the Instagram app
  • restarting your iPhone or Android smartphone
