instagram error "sorry there was a problem with your request"

I am unable to login from my phone into the instagram app.


I factory reset the phone and was able to login so the actual phone itself is not the issue but rather some type of corruption in the IOS or some other setting.


Ive tried just about everything and cannot get in contact with instagram.


My question is basically how to I find the corruption preventing me from logging in, and get rid of it?

iPhone X, iOS 13

Thanks for replying, WarrenKal, and that additional info, it really helps! To help isolate this, your next step is to use your Mac or PC to backup and restore your iOS software to factory settings, as this process erases the information and settings on your device and installs a fresh copy of the latest iOS software. Temporarily set up your phone as new to test your issues, and then restore your back up and test the issues again. If you still having this issue, please contact Apple directly for further assistance.
