Why Is My Instagram Feed Not Loading?

Instagram is a very stable app, but sometimes it shows errors such as not loading Instagram feeds. And you keep wondering why my Instagram is not loading?

However, if you understand the cause of the error and take the necessary steps, it will prevent harming your IG visibility and account maintenance.

Possible reasons why Instagram feed isn’t loading

1.Poor internet connection

You might have unstable internet access. In this case, you should restart your internet device if possible and ensure a secure internet connection. 

2.Installed outdated version of Instagram

The old version also doesn’t allow refreshing the news feed and causes trouble in enjoying many new features available for an updated version. 

3.Unknown technical reasons: Sometimes errors come from nowhere; they could be beyond your understanding.

How to fix if the Instagram feed isn’t loading?

Restart your device

Restarting electronic devices (phones, laptops, tablets) once weekly. It helps you retain memory, save battery life, run more smoothly, and prevent crashes. 

• For Mobile Phones

 

If Instagram is showing bugs, restart your phone. Hold the power button for 2 to 3 seconds, tap restart, and leave it until it shows the mobile display again. 

• For Laptops

For a laptop, go on the window icon and click it; you will see the power icon below the setting. It is the last icon on a PC or laptop, click the icon, and you will see three options, restart, shut down, and sleep. 

Click restart, and your laptop will go off for a short span and automatically show a display after 3 to 5 seconds, the same as your mobile did. 

Use a high-speed internet connection

With high internet, pages load faster than average speed and take less loading time. 

Avoid keeping a browser with multiple tabs open as it can affect the browsing experience.

Though, if your Instagram feed isn’t loading, try to use high-speed internet.
