Why Is Instagram so Slow? Check Your Internet Connection

All too often you ask yourself: why is Instagram so slow? Symptoms include slow loading of pictures and videos, lagging videos and even upload freezes. Maybe you just want to scroll down your feed, but all of the images and videos are grayed out and you get a notice of a network error.

If your Instagram app is up to date, the problem most likely isn’t with Instagram. The problem may actually be your phone’s Internet connection. Check out the video below to see how to fix slow Instagram.

By default iOS and Android mobile phones 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. This results in uploads and downloads getting hung up or stopping entirely. It can seem like nothing is happening, or images don’t load and videos lag or are constantly buffering.

There may not be enough bandwidth available to complete your request as quickly as you would like. It’s a little like being caught in a traffic jam on the freeway.

Speedify does much more than simply opening up an additional Internet connection. It constantly monitors the quality and reliability of your Wi-Fi and cell signal. If Wi-Fi goes bad, it routes the traffic through cellular data until your Wi-Fi is functional again.

Speedify is cost aware. It uses free Wi-Fi connections before sending data over an expensive cell connection. All of this happens without you ever having to do anything. Instead, you just keep enjoying Instagram.
