Instagram Dropping Out? Are You Having Connection Issues?
How Do I Fix Instagram When It Keeps Dropping Out?
As you and the other 400 million active daily users know, Instagram is a great way to share pictures and videos. Now, Instagram has added video chat too! But, at the worst times, Instagram drops out. Your stories and posts are as important now as before the days of social distancing. They are often our only connection to our friends and family these days.
Assuming there aren’t any software issues on your smartphone, and you have the latest version of Instagram, the issue is your Internet connection.
Read below to learn how you can resolve Instagram issues related you your connection.
Why Does Instagram Keep Dropping Out?
There are multiple reasons why this can happen; here are some:
- 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 dropping out.
Here’s what happens: by default iOS and Android 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 and dropping out.
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 Instagram Issues Related To Your Connection
As mentioned before, poor Internet is most likely the cause of your Instagram issues. 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
